the Sultanate of Oman. The Vision of the German University of Technology in
Oman is to become a leading university of technology in the wider region by
building on the three pillars of education, research and innovation.
Through its affiliation with RWTH Aachen University, the German University

Academic Exchange Service DAAD. GUtech faculty also engage in local
research projects, often in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University and
other universities abroad.
The Computer Science Department at GUtech is committed to excellence in
teaching and research. It is striving to convey broad theoretical and
practical knowledge to its students, while focusing on cutting-edge
technologies and latest standards. In addition to covering areas related to
programming, databases, Web-based technologies, networking, computer
systems, mobile applications, and software engineering, the Computer
Science curriculum of the department includes an important business
component.
The Computer Science Department is going to expand in the near future. A
new Master's degree in Computer Science is expected to start in September
