Leadership

The Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at Sohar University is interested in research and technology that will change the world. To accomplish this, we like to have everyone on board. The faculty offers exceptional and distinctive academic programs and engages in research and scholarly endeavours. In all our initiatives, whether teaching or research, we strive to be progressive, results-driven, and community-responsive.

We strive for:

  • Developing the capability in students to use critical thinking skills to codify generic problem ideas into specific algorithmic arrangements.
  • Develop skills as competent software professionals.
  • Demonstrate proficiency in the three key areas of the computer science education program: principles, frameworks, and applications.
  • Have extensive access to computer systems.
  • Have experience in leading exams and completing large projects involving teamwork.
  • Possess the ability to apply the computational and algorithmic critical thinking skills to several domains.

We want to create an atmosphere where you feel in charge and where the knowledge you have achieved is relevant and applicable. Whether your passion is research or teaching, we aim to integrate you and your course with the people both within and beyond SU to achieve your goals. We would like to extend to you all our warm wishes for the start of the academic year. Let it be exciting and unusual for you, and let it bring you new insights, discoveries, and challenges. Australian Computer Society(ACS) accreditation demonstrates the faculty’s continuing commitment to the quality of its programs so that FCIT students are ready to practice once they graduate and employers can count on university graduates to meet their needs.

Finally, Sohar University is proud and is one of the few universities in the Sultanate to have been granted with Institutional Accreditation by the Oman Academic Accreditation Authority (OAAA).
