Strategic Planning

The Strategic Planning Section leads the preparation and development of the University's strategic plans. The QU’s internal planning framework is based on a scientific approach and proven methodology; the process relies on collaborative efforts of the University community. As part of this approach, assessment of the institutional environment, internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats, are conducted wherever planning is launched. The approach includes linking planning to resources in the context of the University’s unique characteristics.
