"University college" is a category indicating campuses operating under the supervision of a foreign university: Al Buraimi University College, Buraymi; Majan University College, Musqat; Muscat University College, Musqat; and Sur University College, Sur.
Webometrics places only one university within the World Top 6000 list, the institution which for long was the only one in the nation: Sultan Qaboos University. Although no. 2621 is fairly unremarkable, it is a good position considering that it both is young and the first of the nation. In this respect, Oman is with 17% of its universities on this list, ranked 12 of 22 in MENA.
Oman seems to deliver good results in the field of higher education, finding a good pace in developing from its late start. The country's cooperation with foreign universities is a positive and important contribution to this process.
