Student Cost of Living
To essentially live a carefree live, students could pay out $2,000 USD a month if they wanted to. However, if the student is on a budget and wishes to save more than to spend, they could end up only needing $1,200 per month. This is with rent, utilities, groceries, clothing, entertainment, and other necessities that students may need.
Again, the cost of living will differ from person to person because it will be based on their lifestyle and their good budgeting habits.
Cost of Tuition
Each subject has a different set tuition for example:
- Banking or Finance degrees cost roughly $6,300 each academic year
- Philology costs roughly around $6,800 each academic year
- Business degrees cost roughly $6,430 each academic year
- Administration degrees cost around $6,900 each academic year
It solely depends on what subject is being studied, and students should look into each university to compare the costs of different subjects.
Languages Spoken in Oman
What languages are spoken in Oman, and what language should students learn?
Arabic is the main and official language of Oman. Other languages spoken in the country include South Baluchi, English, Bengali, Malayalam, Arab Gulf, and Arab Dhofari.
Students would do far better studying here if they are pursuing a cultural and linguistic history into Arabic. Students would need to know some of the language to be able to pass the Arabic exam proficiency test that they would give to international students.
