The Computer Science program at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar educates students who can successfully participate and lead in the field of computer science within industry, government, education, and research in Qatar, the Middle East, and the world. Our teaching enables students to quickly master and apply new computing ideas, concepts, paradigms, and techniques to their job and their research. Top class research provides an intellectually challenging environment, where students are exposed to real problems and are part of their solution, and where faculty can have a scientific and technological impact on Qatar, the region and the world.
