Gulf nation Qatar follows the lead of German Engineering

"German University Qatar" to follow the example of TUM

The project will be realized with German Education Qatar under the coordination of TUM International GmbH. The project is part of an extensive expansion of the bilateral relations that already closely link the Gulf state with Germany, especially in economic terms.

The chairman of German Education Qatar, Mohammed Al Misned, sees the project as a "major milestone in the sustainable industrialization of Qatar. With the 'German University Qatar' we are investing in the talent and entrepreneurial spirit of our citizens. In doing so we and are following the example of the 150-year long success story of the Technical University of Munich". President Prof. Herrmann welcomed the orientation of the new university towards the international standards of the German university system, in particular those of "German Engineering".
