    TAD Boot Camp

    Visit the TAD Boot Camp (Thesis and Dissertation) to help with your research writing. The TAD Boot Camp is a graduate writing event designed to bring together the various services available at the university in one convenient location. The TAD Boot Camp for Research, Thesis, and Dissertation also creates a productive writing environment aimed at helping graduate students replace procrastination with productivity!

    This three-day event includes TAD writing sessions, individual writing support sessions, research consultations with experienced researchers in your field, as well as open writing space for students to work at their own pace with peers, or in small groups. Graduate students participating in the TAD Boot Camp are also eligible to apply for the TAD Boot Camp Award, which is announced annually at the Qatar University Annual Research Forum and Exhibition. These awards are aimed at recognizing graduate students who produce excellent research as a result of their participation in the boot camp. So, be sure to bring your laptop, notebook, and any other research materials or data you have, and enjoy hours of graduate-level writing and research discussions with like-minded graduate students.
