German University of Technology in Oman

The German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) is a premier private university delivering world-class education, built on a strong academic partnership with Germany’s top-ranked RWTH Aachen University. With a commitment to excellence in science, technology, and innovation, GUtech blends German academic rigor with Omani Culture.
The history of the German University of Technology (GUtech) can be traced back to 2003, when visionary Omanis contemplated the establishment of a high-quality university of technology in Oman. This vision was inspired by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos’ directions for the provision of quality higher education in Oman by private investors.
RWTH Aachen University in Germany was approached with the intention of bringing German excellence in education to Oman. After few years of discussion and negotiation, the founders were ready to begin a plan of action for establishing a university.
A Collaborative Agreement between RWTH Aachen University and OES was signed in December 2006, paving the way for the establishment of a private university in the Sultanate of Oman. This cemented the groundwork for everything the founder envisioned: a high quality university of technology in of Oman. Specifically, the agreement laid the framework for collaboration between OES and RWTH Aachen University in terms of academic curricula, quality assurance and expertise, and setting up a technological university. All GUtech programmes have been developed in cooperation of GUtech with RWTH Aachen University in Germany.
GUtech offers a dynamic range of undergraduate programmes including Engineering (Environmental, Process, Mechanical) and Urban Planning and Architectural Design, Applied Geosciences, Logistics, International Business and Service Management, Computer Science, Cyber Security, and Artificial Intelligence.
At the postgraduate level, GUtech provides MSc degrees in cutting-edge fields such as Applied Geosciences, Computer Science, Industrial Production and Manufacturing, Architecture and Urban Planning, and an MBA. Most recently, GUtech launched a pioneering MSc in Hydrogen Economy and Technology demonstrating its leadership in sustainable energy research and workforce development.
The German University of Technology vision is to “become a leading university in the region, achieving internationally-recognized standards in education, research and innovation”.
The University mission is to “Provide a diverse student body with the education required to become highly qualified and socially responsible graduates, guided by German excellence in science and technology and with a firm grounding in Oman’s culture and heritage. The University fosters creative and critical thinking to advance research and innovation and, through this, aims at serving society as a whole”.
