Located in Oman, Gulf College is a higher education college offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Gulf College’s origins date back to 1990 when it was established in Oman as a vocational training institute. In 1996, the institute began offering master’s degrees through an international arrangement with the University of Hull and has since been granted Higher Education College status.

The college offers a range of undergraduate courses, including: accounting and finance, business, computer science, artificial intelligence, several of which are in academic affiliation with Welsh university, Cardiff Metropolitan University. Full and part time master’s courses are also on offer in a range of subject areas including project management, Islamic finance, and health sector management.
