Lusail University (Arabic: جَامِعَة لُوسَيْل, Template:ALA-LC) is a private university in Lusail, Qatar. It is the first national private university in Qatar.[2][3][4]

History

Lusail University was officially inaugurated on April 29, 2020.[2][3][5] Former Attorney General of Qatar Ali Bin Fetais Al-Marri is the chairman of the university's board of trustees.[3][6]

In October 2020, Lusail University signed an MoU (memorandum of understanding) with Qatar University to collaborate on academic, scientific, and organizational projects going forward.[7] In November 2020, Lusail University held an event featuring a talk by Tunisian President Kais Saied.[8][9] In December 2020, Lusail University signed an agreement with Qatar Charity (QC) to collaborate on research, education, and training for fulfilling humanitarian needs.[10]

In 2021, the Turkish government sent a delegation of Turkish students to Lusail University on scholarships to learn how to communicate in Arabic and to bolster relations between Qatar and Turkey.[11][10][12] In June 2021, the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) also signed an agreement to cover tuition costs for a select number of international students attending Lusail University as undergraduate students.[13][14]
