Admissions

Admissions
1. Doha College is selective; admission depends on the applicant's age and on places being available. The school uses criteria that vary by age group and admission is not first-come-first-served. Applicants participate in an entrance assessment to understand each student's strengths. Successful applicants may secure an open place or be added to the waiting list. 2. Applications are submitted online; for a September intake, the process typically commences in November of the preceding year. The admissions schedule provides details on key dates and supports mid-year starters based on availability for most year groups. 3. The entrance assessment is conducted onsite at Doha College; EYFS assessments take about 30 minutes, Year 1 assessments about 20 minutes, and there is a QR 200 assessment cost for EYFS/Year 1. 4. Waiting lists are rank-ordered based on academic ability as determined by the entrance assessment, examination results, previous school reports, and an academic and character reference. 5. Admission to Years 12 and 13 requires meeting minimum entry requirements at GCSE and/or A-Level (five grade C's/5 or higher with B's/6 in the chosen subjects), availability of places, and a satisfactory interview, as well as academic and behaviour references. 6. In some circumstances, learners with learning support requirements may be admitted, subject to discussion with the school before confirmation of a place.
