The University of Nizwa

The second famous university in the top 10 best universities in Oman that Toplist would like to introduce to you is The University of Nizwa. The University of Nizwa (UoN) was established in 2002 by Sultan Qaboos' Decree as the Sultanate of Oman's first non-profit university. It is still Oman's only institution of its kind.

On January 3, 2004, the University of Nizwa was granted legal status by ministerial decision No. 1/2004 after meeting all requirements established by the Oman Ministry of Higher Education and the Higher Education Council. On October 16, 2004, the University of Nizwa welcomed its first class of 1,200 students, with 88 percent of them being Omani women. The current campus is in Birkat al-Mouz, 20 kilometers northwest of Nizwa, near the base of the famous Jabal al-Akhdhar. In March 2010, construction on a new campus near the Farq-Hail highway began.

Although the university is still unaccredited, it is currently in the final stages of institutional accreditation in accordance with the academic standards established by the Oman Academic Accreditation Authority.
