Hello, according to Qatar University Website (which we’ve linked to), it says the deadline for Fall 2024 is March 13th for bachelor’s and December 20th for Graduate Programs. For 2025 Spring semester, the deadlines aren’t yet posted on the Qatar University website, but we will update the page once they do.
