Italy offers a broad variety of global, top-class universities, covering all sectors of research, from medicine, engineering, architecture and physics to literature, arts, music and social sciences.
Italy is home to the first and oldest university in the world and every year attracts thousands of new international students thanks to courses fully held in English, which open the doors to students who are not familiar with Italian yet.
Specialising in Italy gives professional opportunities in highly advanced sectors of industry and services.
Learning Italian can also open job prospects to young Omani students, who can benefit from the presence of a number of Italian companies in the Sultanate as well as a growing number of tourists visiting Oman every year.
To support the professional growth of Omani students the Italian Government also finances Italian language courses at Sultan Qaboos University.
