Overview
Oman Tourism College is a specialist higher education institution in Seeb, Muscat, devoted to tourism and hospitality.
It presents itself as the only college in the Sultanate focused entirely on this field, and it teaches more than 800 students. The college is part of the Omran Group family of companies.
Teaching is organised around four subject areas: Business Enterprise, Event Management, Tourism Marketing, and Tourism and Hospitality. Each can be studied as a four-semester diploma or an eight-semester BSc (Hons), with part-time routes running over six and ten semesters.
Applicants who do not qualify for direct entry begin with a three-semester General Foundation Programme, and placement tests decide the level at which each person joins.
Part-time classes meet in the evenings from Sunday to Wednesday, which suits people already working in the industry. Technological University Dublin in Ireland oversees the quality assurance of every undergraduate programme, and the Omani ministry responsible for higher education, research and innovation attests the college's certificates.
Its tour guide programme was accredited in 2020 by WFTGA, the international tourist guide federation. Outside lectures, students take part in events, activities and trips, and the college also runs short courses.
Applications are accepted for a Fall and a Spring intake, and international applicants follow a visa process set out on the website.
