Tuition fees are assessed based upon the major of the course registered by the students regardless of the major of the student. Accordingly, two students from two different majors will pay the same tuition fees if they register in the same course. The tuition fees per credit hour in Qatari Riyals for undergraduate level are shown in the below table for undergraduate students.

Tuition fees are calculated by multiplying the number of credit hours for each course by the tuition fees per credit hour of the college offering the course. For example, the tuition fees for the three credit hours course CHEM 101, which is offered by the science sector at the College of Arts and Sciences, can be calculated as 3 x 1200=3600 QR.
