​Cardiff Metropolitan has had a close friendship with Oman for a number of years, with many students graduating from courses include Biomedical Science, Food Science, Business and Computer Science. 

Cardiff Met is approved by the Ministry of Higher Education in Oman and is listed on the SSSD, STEM and ESAM Scholarship lists. 

We have an Oman Society and every year Omani students celebrate their National Day at Cardiff Metropolitan and hold celebrations on religious festivals such as Eid.
