One of the main distinctive features of this programme is that the student will get a British award from the University of the West England, Bristol, UK, (recognized worldwide) while studying in Muscat.

At the beginning of the programme, the student will study digital and analog electronics, engineering mathematics and computer programming as well as a wide range of electronic engineering applications. As the student progresses, signal processing, micro controllers-based systems, communication systems, control systems sensor, transducer, actuator, measurement techniques and instrumentation subjects are taught as well as the design of adaptive and intelligent systems. Alongside, the student will also develop professional skills in project planning, group work and communication. Throughout the programme, the student will apply the acquired knowledge through practical laboratory work using our state-of- the-art lab facilities. The student will get an inside track on the industry through factory tours and professional briefings from leading organisations. In the final year, he/she will also take an individual project module to demonstrate the knowledge gained in the programme.

Instrumentation and control Engineers are in great demand because of the rapid advancement of the automated processes and industries  in the region and around the Globe. These advancements create continuous job opportunities for competent Engineers who are able to deal and develop these disciplines further. This engineering specialization of instrumentation and control allows our graduates to have great career prospects. Typical employers (including and not limited to) are companies from the Oil & Gas industry, petrochemical companies, Bio-Medical companies, defense and security, remote sensing companies and Government entities. Opportunities are also available in manufacturing, transport and rail, aviation and many other industries. Moreover, instrumentation and control Engineers have the skills and the ability to start their own businesses in the booming market situation and the opportunities are countless. If the student is interested in pursuing postgraduate studies after successfully completing the degree, then having a British qualification will facilitate admission to top universities in the world.

Note: Student will choose 15 credits from the elective modules

Note: The Omani Culture Module is a compulsory module that will be offered during summer. It carries 0 credit so it will not contribute to the programme credits.
