Photography
Male Graduation Ceremony & College Ceremonies
The Communications and Public Relations Department at Qatar University will provide photography services to the graduates when they ascend the podium. For college ceremonies, taking pictures of female graduates is subject to their request and consent. The respective department will hand over the photos to the deans’ offices in due course after the ceremony. Graduates are kindly requested to wait for the announcement of the dates for receiving these photos via university email and to refer to their colleges (Dean's Office) later to inquire where to receive their graduation photos after the graduation ceremony. Male ceremony pictures will be posted on social media (Twitter) for a specified period.
Distinguished Female and Male Graduation Ceremonies
Receiving the photos of the Distinguished Female Graduates or Distinguished Male Graduates is not possible as photography is exclusively carried out by the photographers of the Amiri Diwan. The media section at Amiri Diwan will select a limited number of photos and send them for publication in the newspapers.
