Building national capacity in fields of global importance.
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS) was established with a vision to enrich communities in Qatar and the world through interdisciplinary educational experiences and innovative research and collaboration opportunities.
As part of an innovative research-driven university, CHSS aims at researching and disseminating knowledge related to the forefront issues in humanities and social sciences. Our overarching theme is social justice that we attempt to integrate into our research activities. As a result, we aim to address social justice and achieve core values through interdisciplinary research.
We combine relevance with academic rigor to engage with real-world issues
We know that real-world problems do not respect academic and scholarly boundaries. This has been the main lesson from a succession of recent world challenges (the global pandemic, climate change and the groundbreaking technological changes currently facing humanity). Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary tools are thus essential to enable scholars, analysts, and decision-makers to confront these challenges.
Our faculty combines relevance with rigor in the design and delivery of our academic programs. We aim to support today's learners in ways that put them on the right trajectory to become tomorrow's leaders.
I am proud to be part of a college that offers such great programs. The Digital Humanities and Societies program covers trending topics such as algorithmic bias, artificial intelligence and Natural Language Processing. What really excites me about studying Digital Humanities is getting the chance to discuss and debate the social implications of technologies in a world that is occupied by different societies and cultures.
As an international student, joining the College of Humanities and Social Sciences has given me the opportunity to enrich my knowledge both academically and professionally.
Being a part of this community has also helped me to expand my social network, as I get to interact with people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds.
