Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Oman’s first public university, celebrated the 40th anniversary of its opening on 9 November with a ceremony in the Grand Hall of the university’s Cultural Centre.
The celebration was themed ‘A Lasting Legacy’ and recalled four decades of national, scientific and intellectual contribution, through a model that places people at the heart of education.
Over these 40 years, the university has prepared generations of Omani talent now working across many sectors of the country, and built partnerships and research projects with lasting impact.
