Opportunities

VCUarts Qatar places a strong emphasis on working together with businesses and organizations across Qatar and internationally. The benefits are twofold; our students and alumni get more opportunities, and organizations tap into our design knowledge and experience.

Career Services connects students and alumni with potential employers through weekly job postings. Employers who wish to offer internships and job opportunities to VCUarts Qatar students and alumni may contact Career Services department via [email protected].

Internship and job opportunities are posted exclusively for VCUarts Qatar students and alumni on the weekly email bulletin, TRANSIT, as well as on the Opportunities webpage.
