Greetings from the Foundation Institute (FI) at the University of Nizwa!

Our General Foundation Program (GFP) serves as an initial pathway for our students, with its importance rooted in our 2020 – 2025 Strategic Plan, designed to realize our vision, mission, and core values and principles, ultimately shaping an outstanding GFP.

The FI is committed to upholding excellence, aligned with the University of Nizwa’s strategic aims, and with the standards set by the Oman Academic Accreditation Authority for Quality Assurance of Education and the Oman Academic Standards for General Foundation Program’s requirements. Our long term aims are to:

1. Maintain a fair and effective governance and management system aligned with our FI’s values.
2. Sustain quality Courses in English, Mathematics, Digital Literacy, and Life and Study Skills for academic success.
3. Foster problem-solving, critical thinking, and lifelong learning while honouring our cultural heritage.
