Hello!

You are invited to participate in our survey on higher education. The Qatar Foundation International wants to know about your education, your plans for study at university, your interest in studying outside Qatar, and the programs that have been helpful to you. We are surveying students like you to build better programs, so we are grateful for your time and effort.

Your answers are strictly confidential; we are not asking for your name, so please be honest in your answers. Results will only be reported in the aggregate. Your participation is completely voluntary.

Completing this survey should take about 10 minutes. There are two types of questions. The first offers you options for answers, such as a rating or checking a box. The second type is “open-ended,” where you type your answers, thoughts and ideas into the provided text box. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns by writing to Aneta Popiel, [email protected].

Please begin the survey by clicking on the "Continue" button below. Thank you!
