Dear Students, Faculty, and Esteemed Guests, It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I extend a warm welcome to the Preparatory Studies Center (PSC) at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences-Nizwa. The Preparatory Studies Center serves as the gateway to academic excellence, and it is indeed the first place where new students embark on their educational journey within our esteemed university. Comprising three pivotal units—English, Math, and IT—we are dedicated to fostering a strong foundation for success in the fields of technology and applied sciences. At PSC, we offer two distinctive types of programs: Foundation and Post-Foundation. These programs are meticulously designed to provide students with a solid academic grounding, ensuring they are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their chosen fields. One of the hallmarks of our center is our commitment to community service and outreach. Through various community service programs, we strive to make a positive impact beyond the confines of our university, sharing our knowledge and skills to contribute to the well-being of society at large. Professional Development is at the core of our ethos. We actively engage in a myriad of initiatives aimed at enhancing the skills and knowledge of our staff. By doing so, we ensure that our team remains at the forefront of educational innovation, providing our students with a learning environment that is both dynamic and enriching. We take great pride in being a center that cares deeply about both our staff and students. Your success is our priority, and we are dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment that nurtures the talents and aspirations of each individual. Feedback from our students and staff is invaluable to us. We actively seek and welcome your thoughts and suggestions, using them as a compass to guide our continuous improvement efforts. Your input is crucial in shaping the future of our center and the experiences of those who pass through its doors. As the Head of the Preparatory Studies Center, I am honored to be part of a vibrant and forward-thinking community. I look forward to a fruitful academic year filled with discovery, growth, and achievement. Once again, welcome to the Preparatory Studies Center at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences.
