In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Compassionate
I am pleased to welcome you to the Faculty of Law at the Arab Open University in the Sultanate of Oman. The faculty started its academic journey in the academic year 2018/2019 and aims to be a leading institution that offers outstanding legal education, keeping up with contemporary demands and meeting the needs of the local and regional labour markets.
Since its launch, the faculty has been keen to attract faculty members with high efficiency and academic and professional experience, who constitute the main pillar in providing educational programmes that meet international academic standards. The faculty comprises two academic departments: the Department of Public Law and the Department of Private Law, which work together to develop an integrated legal personality among students, combining theoretical understanding with practical application.
The Faculty offers a Bachelor of Law programme, which aims to qualify graduates who possess deep legal knowledge and the necessary professional skills, in addition to the Master of Law programme, which allows students to specialise in one of the two fields: Public Law or Private Law, in a way that enhances their research capabilities and contributes to the development of the legal system in the Sultanate of Oman and abroad.
Since its establishment, the faculty has witnessed a remarkable growth in the number of students, which is a clear indicator of the success of its programmes and the quality of its outputs. The faculty has also graduated several batches over the past years who have contributed to providing the labour market with qualified legal cadres, capable of effectively contributing to various sectors of the state, whether in the judiciary, as lawyers, or in the public and private sectors.
We at the Faculty of Law at the Arab Open University believe that academic excellence and close engagement with society are the core of our mission. We are continuously working to develop our curricula and educational programmes, promote a culture of scientific research, and provide a stimulating academic environment that encourages creativity and innovation. We are dedicated to making the faculty a leading institution that contributes to building a knowledge society and graduating generations capable of bringing about positive change, equipped with scientific knowledge and strong professional values.
We are not satisfied with merely creating minds; we build consciences and shape the features of tomorrow with careful hands that believe knowledge is a message, and that the elevation of man begins with the elevation of his thought.
May Allah grant all success
Dr. Hamad bin Saeed Al Kalbani
Dean of the Faculty of Law
