To be a delegate
Your school registers a delegation. Ask your teacher or MUN coordinator to do it — a student cannot register alone, and an application sent by a student is not held or forwarded.
Requires a supervising teacher
Applications
Apply to Doha MUN 2027
Schools register delegations. Individual roles — student officer, secretariat, press — are applied for directly by the student.
To run the conference
Student officer, secretariat, press corps and administrative staff are applied for by you, directly, with an interview. You do not need your school to hold a delegation place for you.
Five ways in
Every seat in the room
Not every student wants the same job, and a conference needs all of these to run.
Delegate
You represent a country in one committee for four days. Registered by your school as part of a delegation, never on your own.
Open nowStudent officer
You chair a committee: write the study guide, keep the speakers list, rule on points, and run the room. Prior delegate experience is required.
ClosedSecretariat
You build the conference: programme, committee design, chair training, and the decisions that are made months before anyone arrives.
ClosedPress corps
You cover it: photography, reporting, interviews across committees, and the daily bulletin that lands on every desk before the morning session.
Open nowAdministrative staff
You keep it running: registration desk, note passing, room turnover, and getting five hundred people fed and back in their seats on time.
Open nowThe forms are not open yet
Application forms are published as each window opens. Until then, write to the schools desk and you will be told the moment yours does.

Questions we are asked most
Can I register on my own, without my school?
Not as a delegate. Delegations are registered by a teacher or MUN coordinator, who is also the named supervising adult for the four days. Student officer, secretariat, press and administrative roles are applied for directly by the student — those do not need a delegation.
Do I need Model UN experience?
No, for four of the eight committees. GA3, UNEP and the Youth Forum are set up for first-time delegates, and day one includes a procedural workshop. The Security Council and student officer roles do ask for prior experience, because fifteen people with a veto is not a place to learn what a veto is.
Which language will I be debating in?
The one your committee runs in — you choose when your school submits preferences. Five committees run in English, two entirely in Arabic with Arabic drafting and Arabic procedure, and the Youth Forum runs both at once. An Arabic committee is not a translated English one; it has its own agenda and its own study guide.
Is there a fee?
Confirm current fees with the secretariat before you budget — this page is not the source of truth for cost, and quoting a figure here that later changes would be worse than saying so.
What is a position paper, and is it compulsory?
One page, per delegate, per topic: your country's position, what it has already signed or voted for, and what it wants the committee to do. It is compulsory in the sense that matters — a delegate with no paper on file is not eligible for an award, however well they speak.
What should I wear?
Western business attire or national dress, both equally correct. The standard is the one you would meet a minister in. Delegates out of dress code may be asked to leave the floor until they are in it.
Bring your delegation
