Student Support Unit

The Student Support Unit should be your first point of contact for questions, comments or concerns. In many cases, the staff will be able to deal with your queries. In other cases, the staff will refer you to the appropriate department for resolution of the matter.

Student Counselling Advice

Muscat University provides access to counselling support services. Counsellors will help you find solutions to a range of personal or academic related issues and challenges.

Disability Support

An important aspect of the services provided by the Student Support Unit is the provision for appropriate advice and support for students with movement disabilities. This expert advice and support helps promote the success and wellbeing of these groups of students and enhances their university experience by creating a dynamic environment that allows them to fulfill their personal, academic and professional potential.

The university offers several services to students with disabilities including special parking area and accessible entrance to the campus.

Learning Support Services

Muscat University students can access learning support and advice through the dedicated Learning Resource Centre (LRC) located on the 2nd floor of the Muscat University building. There are also dedicated study spaces for you to utilize, such as the discussion rooms on the 2nd and 4th floors where groups can work collaboratively.

“The key to a great student experience is striking a balance between study and play. We have numerous ongoing student activities and clubs to keep you busy outside of the classroom.”
