As part of the ongoing cooperation between Gulf College and its academic partner (Cardiff Metropolitan University-UK), the College Board of Trustees met with the University delegation and Professor Cara Aitchison, Vice Chancellor, Cardiff Metropolitan University on February 25, 2023. The discussions included the latest developments at the College  and the implementation of the College Strategic Plan (2021-2026). It is worth noting that the College Strategic Plan has been aligned with Oman 2040 vision and other national priorities in higher education. A number of new programmes and developmental initiatives were discussed as well, to further ensure alignment with Vision 2040 and to address the emerging needs of the labour market.
