What does it mean to live in a globalized world? This program introduces students to Global Studies—a dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the forces that shape our lives across borders. Through interactive discussions, multimedia activities, and real-world case studies, students will explore topics like global governance, human rights, and culture. The program encourages critical thinking about global challenges and empowers students to reflect on their role as global citizens.
Northwestern Qatar is home to two world-class programs, Communication and Journalism, but what learning experiences do both majors entail?
Join a hands-on session hosted at NU-Q’s eclectic campus, to learn and experience a journalism broadcast mock in our very own state-of-the-art Newsroom, and a film set flow in our BlackBox Theater.
The heart of newsgathering and news reporting is always people. In this program, you will leave the class knowing how to gather original information firsthand, primarily through interviewing, observation, and training to do on-the-street style video interviews. The course will engage in the importance of interviewing, why in-person interactions are so critical to good reporting, how interviews contribute to verification, and the art of an effective interview. In the classroom, we will do drills and live examples, and we will work together to come up with a final assignment where students will ultimately work on a group project that culminates in a socials-focused video made with real people outside of the classroom.
