Attendees during the Induction Day.
DOHA: The Student Affairs Deanship at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies (DI) organised the first Induction Day for undergraduates and students interested in pursuing higher studies on Wednesday, showcasing DI Doctoral and Master’s programmes.
Executive Director of the Administrative and Financial Division at the DI Eman bin Abdulla Al Sulaiti, emphasised the importance of this annual event which serves as a bridge to strengthen communication between students who are interested in continuing their studies further and the Doha Institute.
It also provides an opportunity to explore DI academic programmes at the Master’s and Doctoral levels, learn about registration and admission standards and requirements, and answer the inquiries of those interested through meeting potential students on the verge of making the same decision or existing students of the same major or school.
This kind of interaction enriches their knowledge and sparks their curiosity about exploring the academic and research life of the DI.
Al Sulaiti added that the institute has consistently organised such orientation events as a regular annual tradition to promote the DI mission of research and discovery as a fundamental part of the learning and teaching experience at all levels.
The induction day was held at the DI headquarters and included a number of activities like presentations on the different Master’s programmes, sharing of study experiences, and faculty members showcasing the academic options available for students. They provided detailed information about the study programmes and discussed their queries in the dedicated booths for each programme.
