SULTAN QABOOS UNIVERSITY For A Great Learning Experience
Sultan Qaboos University is the realisation of the promise announced by His. Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said during the 10th anniversary of Oman's National Day in 1980. Construction started in 1982 and the first Sultan Qaboos University students were enrolled in 1986. In accordance with the Royal Directives of Sultan Qaboos, The University commenced with five colleges; namely Medicine, Engineering, Agriculture, Education and Science. Furthermore the College of Arts was established in 1987, following the College of Commerce and Economics which was developed in 1993. The College of Law joined the University in 2006 and finally the College of Nursing was established in 2008.
Set in a valley beneath the stark panorama of the nearby foothills of the Oman Mountains, the University is a tasteful array of buildings designed with arches and courtyards and constructed in white and pink sandstone in a manner that reflects traditional Omani and Islamic architecture. The University was constructed on an axis in the valley with one end aligned toward Mecca.
Altogether, the campus portrays the rich heritage of Oman and Islam while incorporating all the efficiencies of modern life. The result is an educational and living environment which is both functional and attractive.
Earlier this year, the University organised an International Symposium titled 'Oman And India: Prospects and Civilisation' under the patronage of His Highness Sayyid Shihab bin Tariq Al Said, adviser to Sultan Qaboos. The Symposium did much to enrich Oman-India relations in economic, scientific, cultural and social areas, and was of particular importance to the University which seeks to strengthen research relations with various scientific institutions around the world, and especially in India.
