Strategic Plan

Deliver effective and efficient professional services with a commitment to enhancement and innovation to exceed user expectations.

Staff are critical to the University’s success and we will work to build capability in an environment that promotes excellence. Central to our approach will be support for Omanisation through programs for existing staff and provision of leadership and development to prepare the academic and managerial leaders of tomorrow. The University acknowledges the contribution of all staff as our international profile ensures we prepare students to be global citizens. We will continue to develop the campus to provide excellent facilities for education, research and community engagement. This will require robust financial planning with a long-term commitment to secure the University’s position as a leading contributor to higher education in the region.
