Overview
Muscat College is a private higher education institution in Muscat, Oman, offering diploma, bachelor's and master's study through its own provision and through partnerships with overseas universities and awarding bodies.
Its academic calendar groups programmes under the University of Stirling, the University of Westminster at undergraduate and postgraduate level, Qualification Scotland (formerly SQA) and the University of Malaysia Pahang, alongside an MBA that is also taught in Arabic. Most applicants arrive with the General Education Diploma or an equivalent certificate recognised by Oman's Ministry of Education.
Those who need more preparation can join the General Foundation Programme, a pre-sessional course that builds language, numeracy, computing and study skills before progression to a bachelor's programme, with entry in September, December or March. Prospective master's students whose English falls short can first take the Postgraduate Qualifying Programme, which strengthens academic English and study skills.
International applicants are supported with application guidance, conditional admission, visa, accommodation, transport and orientation information.
Enrolled students who are halfway or further through their degree may apply for the student exchange programme with the college's affiliated institutions. A student council gives learners a voice in campus life.
