Take Inspiration from UoB Alumni Success Stories!

After completing my Bachelor’s degree with flying colors, I joined the Quality and Accreditation Department at my alma mater – University of Buraimi. I am proud to be a part of my own university and feel extremely honored to add value to an area, which is so critical and strategic for the higher education landscape in Oman. I am extremely thankful to my teachers for providing an excellent academic environment to nurture my skills and developing me as a well-rounded individual. I strongly recommend the young and aspiring knowledge-seekers to join this wonderful place of learning and materialize your dreams. I am looking forward to be an integral part of the growth and success of UoB.

I am so glad to be a part of College of Business at UoB – a place that has always inspired me both as a student and now as an employee. After joining my secretarial position at the Dean’s office, I have undergone a rich experience enabling me to contribute effectively and sharpening my skills as a result. The knowledge gained at College of Business has played a vital role in performing my duties effectively, for which I remain grateful to my teachers. Over the years, my technical and interpersonal skills are constantly improving which has enabled me to fulfill my role in the best possible manner. I wish UoB a marvelous future.

I graduated from the Information and Communication Engineering program of College of Engineering. After graduation, I worked as a Technical Manager at THURAYAbiz Company, with tasks including managing, conducting, controlling, and analyzing social media accounts for clients, as well as supervising the designs and publications that are rendered through social media and publications distributed for clients. Other tasks include contributing to the implementation of marketing strategies, guiding and supervising trainees at the workplace. In addition, I am a freelancer providing services in designing, video making and editing, and visual effects for various entities such as institutions, health care centers, commercial centers, and public figures.

I am a proud graduate of the Architectural Engineering program of College of Engineering with a diploma degree. I decided to pursue my studies toward the Bachelor Degree in the same field. I was not only focusing on my academics, but also giving an example of positive participation in on-campus and off-campus activities. I acted as a member of the Students Advisory Council, which represents and supports all students of UoB. I have also received training in brand image design.

I am a registered nurse working at a tertiary care hospital in Muscat. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Buraimi. My nursing journey from being a university student to becoming a successful professional nurse was challenging, at the same time satisfying. It was challenging for me to live away from my hometown, coping with my courses, hospital training, assignments and deadlines to meet with. Later on, I realized that the hard training I had at UoB was part of becoming a professional nurse, one who is equipped with excellent knowledge, superb skills and right attitude. One year after graduation, Alhamdullah, I was hired as a staff nurse by a tertiary hospital in Oman. I have been working for almost one and a half years now and life is so generous to me. My heartfelt gratitude to my beloved alma mater and to my dear teachers, thank you for being my mentor, adviser and friend. Thank you, UoB, for imbibing in me the values of compassion, respect, courage and accountability.

I am a proud optometry graduate from the College of Health Sciences, University of Buraimi. As a student at UoB, the valuable aspects of my education were not only the institutional based learning, but also the quality of training and the amount of learning I gained from every patient encounter during my clinical internship. I feel very fortunate to have been so thoroughly prepared for optometry practice by some of the brightest and most passionate instructors. My various clinical rotations during my internship exposed me to a variety of clinical settings and patients. By the time I was graduated, I was confident enough to start my career as an Optometrist. Soon after my graduation, I joined the Ophthalmology Department at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital as Pediatric Optometrist. After spending my initial 2 years at the department, I got an opportunity to join a Pediatric Optometry Fellowship at a prestigious tertiary eye care hospital in India. This specialized training prepared me to provide excellent optometry care to children. Now, I became the first Omani optometrist to have a fellowship in Pediatric Optometry. I am so very thankful to my college, teachers and UoB for being there to shape my career.
