\nThe main distinctive feature of the above programmes is that they adopt a hands-on approach to learning and teaching.
\nIn addition, the College offers the Foundation Studies Programme (FSP) which is aimed at preparing students to undertake their intended undergraduate studies in English medium. It includes general English, English for Academic Purpose (EAP), ICT, Mathematics, and Physics. The programme also aims at\u00a0 developing study and independent learning skills, which are embedded within the curriculum of the above-mentioned subjects.
\nThe College intends to extend its academic landscape and develop, in collaboration with UWE, more programmes in the areas of Engineering and Technology. The new programmes will be carefully selected to appeal to young people and at the same time address the needs of job market of the Sultanate of\u00a0 Oman and the wider region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#000000″ full_height=”yes” scene_position=”center” constrain_group_1=”yes” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”vision” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”8314″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Our Vision” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1751001524097{padding-right: 10% !important;}”]The vision of the College is to be recognised nationally and internationally, as the leading private Higher Education College of choice for engineering and technology in the Sultanate of Oman and the wider MENA region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
