The Central Laboratories Unit Training Programs

1- Strategic Goals of the Central Laboratories Unit Training Programs

• Promote talent development and student training programs in line with Qatar University's main strategic goals.
• Providing students with a training environment compatible with their studies lead to the development specifications of a Qatar University graduate in terms of aptitude and skills that qualify them for future work.
• Promoting research training culture and processes to build a distinct research environment at Qatar University.
• Motivate the students to invite their idea and apply it in real life by research.
• Enhance the student’s sample analysis skills to achieve accurate analysis results.
• Simplify the scientific research work to encourage the students to start their own interest field.

 2 - The objectives of the Central Laboratories Unit Training Programs

• Attract more undergraduate students to carry their line of research.
• Assist the student's development skills such as research teamwork, research planning, technical experience, and attention to detail.
• Expose the student to the practical research environment and expectations of performance.
• Enhance and/or expand the student's knowledge of a particular area(s) of chemical analytical techniques.
• Expose the student to the professional analytical teams who will provide the student with support in the different stages of the internship and provide an example of the behaviors expected in the laboratories.
• Enhance student’s knowledge and practical skills about the new and advanced analytical techniques and industrial applications.
• Enhance students’ knowledge about Quality and Accreditation culture and its importance in the chemical analysis fields.
• Increase the student’s awareness about laboratory safety rules to reduce any future risk.
