Studying and living in Oman
Costs and living
Tuition: there is no national fee scale; fees vary by university and programme, and many universities charge international students more than Omanis. Current official examples: • Dhofar University: OMR 70 per credit hour for bachelor's (about OMR 8,400 for a 120-credit programme) and OMR 110–150 per credit hour for master's. • Middle East College: OMR 2,586–5,100 a year for bachelor's and OMR 3,355–4,318 a year for master's. • Muscat University: OMR 4,400–4,900 a year for international students in the degree years; master's OMR 6,800–12,000. • GUtech: OMR 3,375–3,900 per semester for international students; foundation year OMR 4,000. Other fees: the student visa costs about OMR 50 every two years, and health insurance is compulsory (for example OMR 155 a year at GUtech). Living costs: female student housing at Al Buraimi University College costs OMR 170–380 per semester, and the Omani government scholarship pays a monthly allowance of OMR 200 (OMR 140 with housing), a guide to the minimum outside Muscat. We estimate USD 500–1,000 a month depending on the city and housing, with Muscat the most expensive.
Working while studying
A student residence in Oman does not give a general right to work. Ministry of Labour Decision 13/2025, which regulates part-time work for students (up to 25 hours a week at a wage usually of at least OMR 3 an hour), restricts it to Omani nationals, so do not count on a job to cover your costs. The practical exception is work inside the university as part of a scholarship: for example, Sultan Qaboos University postgraduate scholarship holders do up to 10 hours a week of academic or administrative work. Universities can also arrange the internships required by your study plan. After graduation: there is no dedicated job-search visa for graduates; you must leave or switch to an employer-sponsored work visa before your student residence expires. Hiring is subject to Omanisation rules, which reserve some occupations for Omani citizens.
