There is no separate scholarship application: you first apply for a postgraduate programme through the Deanship of Postgraduate Studies, and once you hold unconditional admission the Palestinian Embassy in Muscat nominates you. You must study full time, master's candidates need a bachelor's CGPA of at least 3.0 out of 4.0, and scholars do up to 10 hours a week of academic or administrative work at the university. The scholarship does not cover the application fee or bridging courses, and the contract is signed in the fourth week of study.
