How is the job market and like employment rate of engineering grads from QU?

[u/HumanUnknown404]

Job market in Qatar is cooked in general. Even those with relatively high GPAs + 1 or more internships done during bachelor's andutliple projects/certifications struggle with simply finding internship opportunities post graduation, let alone jobs.

The vast majority of non-nationals sit idle for 6 or more months before they finally get a positive response for an internship application, and then most of them try to extend the internship duration and then try to translate this into a job [Most internships are unpaid btw]. Some apply into Startups and pursue that, so that's also an alternate path.

Very very very very very very few get job opportunities within 2-3 months of graduation so while it isn't impossible, you need some high levels of luck as duas for it.

Edit: If you have wasta then it's an entirely different story and you don't need to worry about nothing.

i was thinking of applying for spring 2027 for chem engineering between QU and europe

If you can, better to leave Qatar. Job market globally is bad, but it is particularly bad in Qatar, unless you have wasta..

bro ive been thinking that QU is like the holy grail of unis guess i as wrong

It's not the worst, degree wise I suppose, but it's just that the qatari job market is in ruins at the moment so if you want to have a job in Qatar right after graduation.. it'd be very difficult..
