Doha, Qatar -  June 09, 2020:  Qatar Finance and Business Academy in partnership with Northumbria University (QFBA-Northumbria University) is hosting a virtual ‘E-Meet Our Admissions’ event over Microsoft teams on Wednesday 10th June 2020 at 5pm. Final year business students at the College of North Atlantic – Qatar (CNA-Q) are invited to join the virtual gathering to learn about the university’s top up degree programmes and advanced entry programmes.

The virtual admissions session is organized to build on the progression agreement signed with CNA-Q as a part of the university’s dedication to raise awareness about its top up degree programmes, supplementary course programmes for upgrading from a diploma to a university degree, for students wishing to gain a finance related bachelor’s degree in Qatar in spite of current circumstances. 

The online session targets business administration and business management students in their final year at CNA-Q aiming to upgrade their diploma to a full Bachelor’s degree by joining QFBA-Northumbria University’s 3rd year Finance and Investment Management programme or by joining one of the top-up degree programmes in International Banking and Finance or Accounting and Finance.

Currently within Qatar’s education landscape, QFBA-Northumbria University is the only university offering one-year top up programmes that allow CNA-Q students to convert their advanced diplomas into internationally recognized AACSB and EPAS accredited degrees from Northumbria University UK.  CNA-Q students are also exempt from taking the IELTs exam to join the university’s various finance related programmes. 

Commenting on the virtual admissions session, Khalifa Al Yafei, Director of Student Affairs said: 

“Many students have become uncertain about their academic futures and how to continue their university plans. Our aim is to highlight the various options and pathways QFBA-Northumbria University offers to guide current CNA-Q students on how they can further develop their education.” 

With a flexible schedule of classes that are run in the evening, QFBA-Northumbria University allows working students to pursue their careers professionally and make use of evening classes 3 to 4 times a week towards completion of their programme.  The prestigious institution is also conveniently located in the financial district of West Bay giving students accessibility to university near or around their workplace.
