Undergraduate Scholarships in Oman for IGCSE, A Levels & IB Students
Why Oman is a solid regional option with scholarships
Oman offers English‑medium degrees at Sultan Qaboos University, German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech), University of Nizwa and other institutions. For IGCSE, A Level and IB students in the region, government and institutional scholarships can significantly reduce costs.

Medicine, Engineering, Science, Education and Business programmes at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU).

- For Omani nationals, scholarships and sponsorships can include:
- Full tuition
- Monthly stipend
- Sometimes accommodation and other allowances
- Limited opportunities may exist for non‑Omani students via special schemes.
Eligibility
- Strong academic performance in secondary school (including A Levels/IB for international curricula).
