Firstly, the promoters of National University of Science & Technology wish to thank the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, and the Education Council for having accepted their proposal to establish a new University, a realization of their long cherished dream goal.
The launching of the new University is a significant milestone in the manifestation of social commitment of Sheik Salim Al Fannah Al Araimi, Dr. P. Mohamed Ali, and the family of late Mohamed Rasheed Al Fannah Al Araimi, who have founded the three Colleges, all of them high cost and challenging ventures. However, they all held a nationalistic view, were committed to participate in the Renaissance of the Sultanate of Oman, were driven by social values and were willing to accept risks and challenges. It was these persona that encouraged them to immediately respond to the call from Late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos in the year 1996, ushering a new era in Oman's higher education setting on inviting private initiatives into the higher education sector.
The Caledonian College of Engineering, the first private engineering college in Oman was established in 1996 in academic partnership with Glasgow Caledonian University, a reputed institution in Scotland. Caledonian College of Engineering is the only engineering college in Oman to have received accreditation from Oman Academic Accreditation Agency (OAAA). The College, spread across two campuses in Al Hail and Airport Heights, has over 3000 students on its rolls and has graduated over 6000 undergraduates and diplomates as well as 200 post graduate students.
The promoters of National University of Science & Technology envision the University to become internationally recognized and renowned for its excellence in education & research, driven by social values. The University will endeavor to carry its mission of transforming students into global citizens with quest for knowledge and its application for the betterment of society. The promoters firmly believe that the National University is destined to reach new vistas of excellence in science & technology and that it will remain to be seen as an icon of higher education and research in the Sultanate of Oman.
Sheikh Salim Al Fannah Al Araimi is the Chairman of Board of Directors of National University. The governance of the University is vested with the University Executive Board chaired by Dr. P. Mohamed Ali. A Board of Trustees which is the supreme executive advisory body of the University is constituted in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. The Board of Trustees has membership of eminent persons of international repute from the domains of medicine, engineering, and education. Nominees of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the international partner Universities are also members of the Board of Trustees. The Headquarters of National University is located in Bousher, Muscat.
