Iman Al Kiyumi
Faculty of Language StudiesBeing a student at Sohar University was one of the most remarkable and memorable experiences of my life. It has exposed me to an intriguing environment where each year presented new challenges and lessons that enhanced my cognitive capacities and practical skills not just in my line of work as an English teacher, but also as a researcher. Moreover, it has provided me with many opportunities that fulfilled my requirements as an undergraduate and allowed me to demonstrate my full potential in fluent speaking, research writing, and teamwork, such as my participation in the Student Support Classes Program to teach and transfer my knowledge to other students. I also joined scientific research and innovation with a group of outstanding students, and I attended online meetings as well as meetings at the university that were distinguished by the inclusion of a group of excellent teachers from various faculties, not to mention the other educational workshops in which I participated. This exceptional academic foundation enabled me to earn a very high GPA and to be recognised four times on the Dean's and Vice Chancellor's Lists; consequently, it has equipped me to enter the labour market with all my strength.
Abdullah Al-Kamzari
Faculty of EngineeringMy name is Abdullah Zaid Ahmed Al-Kamzari. I had a pleasant experience at Sohar University, where I graduated in 2013. I am a civil engineer with a bachelor's degree. In 2013, I joined Oman Oil Refinery & Petroleum Industries Company (ORPIC) as a Civil Engineer. Starting in 2020, I was promoted to senior civil engineer within the engineering department. In November 2021, I began working as a team leader for central support services and civils at Sohar Central Mechanical Workshop, Maintenance Function. As a graduate of Sohar University's Civil Engineering program, I am proud of my accomplishments.
Qasim Al Ghaithi
Faculty of EngineeringMy name is Qasim Al Ghaithi. I graduated from Sohar University in 2015 with a degree in Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering and now currently employed by Minerals Development as a Manager - Asset Management. My studies at Sohar University helped me later, not only advancing my career but also enabling me to continue my master's degree in one of the best business schools in the world, HEC Paris in France, with an exchange programme at Cornell University in the US. Now I have over twelve years of experience in the Oil & Gas, Logistic and Mining sectors, starting with Halliburton as a drilling tools specialist before moving to OQ and serving multiple functions at different seniority levels: operation, maintenance, internal audit, and business development. Prior to joining MDO, I was Senior Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis at Port of Salalah, where I was responsible for driving performance management across the organization. In my current role with MDO as Asset Manager, I’m responsible for monitoring the group's diverse portfolio of investments and engaging with portfolio companies in strategic dialogue to drive value creation. As a graduate of Sohar University with a degree in Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, I believe that the university provided me with the appropriate tools and knowledge and taught me how to maximise my potential in order to market myself with a competitive advantage and transform my prospects into actual opportunities.
Karim Saleh Al-Habsi
Faculty of BusinessI was truly honored to be given the opportunity to pursue my undergraduate studies in Business Management at Sohar University. Sohar University is regarded as one of the Sultanate's most prestigious institutions. The experience gained throughout the learning journey was astounding and unforgettable, with the university prudently providing us with a fascinating environment in which we were exposed to various challenges/experiments that enabled us to enhance and up-skill our practical as well as theoretical competencies in a manner that corresponded with employability requirements. The experience gained has opened up valuable doors of employment opportunities, and I have been fortunate to be appointed by reputable organizations in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, services, and banking. I am currently working at the Central Bank of Oman as a Senior Human Resources Specialist as a result of my Sohar University experience, and I am implementing at the workplace the knowledge acquired to perform my roles effectively, which knowledge includes interpersonal skills, team building, innovation, IT literacy, analysis, reporting, and so on. Furthermore, the skills I learned enabled me to pursue postgraduate studies in the UK, where I was able to correlate the competencies I gained from participating in various activities at Sohar University such as English Association Group, delivering a speech at the students' alumni/graduation ceremony, site visits to various entities organized by SU, workshops, symposiums, and others occassions. Skill-set such as report writing, critical analysis, researching and so forth have played a very fundamental role in underpinning my learning journey in the UK as I was able to cope up with numerous multi-cultural backgrounds, apply the learnt academic skills, communicate effectively, showcase my potentials & accordingly contribute in the field of research in various disciplines. Also, set of obtained skills have allowed me to acquire professional certificate which is CIPD and CIA.
Ali Ibrahim Al Maeini
Faculty of EngineeringCurrently, I am the Manager of the Smart Meter and Prepaid Rollout Department at Majan Electricity Company, where I hold a senior position. My study experience at the faculty as an undergraduate engineering student was highly productive and enjoyable. I am grateful for the encouragement, dedication, and helpful behaviour from my teachers. The concepts of electrical and computer engineering that I've learned and the hands-on experience I've received have helped me to excel in my engineering profession. The hands-on experience I obtained via the course work and project components aided me throughout my career in generating fresh ideas and building creative applications for my sector. I am honoured to have graduated from the Faculty of Engineering in Sohar University.
Fatema Sayed
Faculty of Language StudiesBeing a student at Sohar University has shown me that I have unlimited potential to do well at academic levels and solve any problems I face. As an expatriate student, I had many difficulties integrating with my colleagues at the beginning. It was even harder being a student with chronic health conditions that forced me to be absent a lot. I thought I could never be an excellent student or be able to merge with the new environment, but my teachers showed me the exact opposite. They supported and guided me all the way through; some of them even felt like family to me. They trusted my abilities, so I started to trust myself. They encouraged me to be a peer tutor and to participate in the English language conference, although I had low self-esteem back then. Melancholy has lost her hold on me, and I am no longer the pensive Fatima that I was. This vibrant campus has moulded me into an enterprising, workaholic student. My academic achievements have always been recognised and awarded. This, in turn, has enhanced my confidence and my social and academic intelligence. My journey at Sohar University goes beyond words. I am grateful to this campus for changing me into the person I am today, and I’m happy to be fortunate enough to enrol in this great university!
