Qatar’s first national College of Education was founded in 1973, by decree of the Emir of Qatar, in his vision to place education as a priority in the country’s expansion. The country’s rapid development highlighted the requirement for the College’s expansion, to provide additional areas of specialization in line with the requirements of the population. Consequently, in 1977, Qatar University was founded with four new colleges; Science, education, Humanities & Social Sciences, Sharia and Law & Islamic Studies. Since then, the institution rapidly expanded, with the founding of the College of Engineering in 1980 and College of Business in 1985. In addition, it originally supported several small independent research centers, and worked to establish a national community college; the College of Technology.
