Muscat: For three decades, the Modern College of Business and Science MCBS has played a defining role in shaping Oman’s higher education landscape. More than an academic institution, MCBS has consistently focused on developing human capital, strengthening graduate employability, and supporting national development priorities.

Since its establishment, MCBS has pursued a clear and forward-looking vision aligned with Oman Vision 2040 delivering quality education, fostering innovation, and preparing graduates who contribute effectively to a diversified, knowledge-based economy. While many institutions relied on conventional models, MCBS invested early in applied learning, industry engagement, and outcomes-based education, recognising the importance of relevance, quality, and accountability.

Today, the results of this approach are reflected in both national and international recognition. MCBS has earned acknowledgement through the QS World University Rankings Arab Region 2026 and the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. These recognitions reflect external evaluation against global benchmarks in teaching, governance, research impact, and societal contribution, reinforcing the College’s commitment to continuous improvement and quality assurance in line with OAAAQA standards.

As Dr Moosa Al Kindi, Dean of the Modern College of Business and Science, notes
“For thirty years, Modern College of Business and Science has remained committed to delivering quality education that serves Oman’s national priorities. Our focus has always been on preparing graduates who are competent, ethical, and capable of contributing meaningfully to a diversified, knowledge-based economy in line with Oman Vision 2040.”

At the institutional level, MCBS has embedded innovation and sustainability into its academic and operational framework. Through its Innovation X Hub and Sustainability Centers, students engage in entrepreneurship, applied research, and community-based initiatives that address real economic, social, and environmental challenges. This practical orientation directly supports Oman Vision 2040 pillars related to education quality, innovation, sustainability, and private sector growth.

MCBS graduates contribute across key sectors critical to national development, including finance, technology, healthcare, logistics, aviation, education, and public service. Equipped with strong academic foundations, digital competencies, and ethical leadership skills, alumni are well positioned to support workforce nationalisation, productivity, and institutional effectiveness.

“Thirty years of consistent quality, innovation, and graduate impact contributing to Oman’s human capital and national development.”

As MCBS marks three decades of service, its progress reflects steady institutional development rather than short term expansion. The College’s journey has been shaped by investment in qualified faculty, robust academic governance, student centered learning, and continuous alignment with national accreditation and quality frameworks.

This is higher education with purpose where international benchmarks reinforce national priorities, where academic quality supports Oman Vision 2040, and where graduates are prepared not only for employment, but for responsible leadership and lifelong contribution.

MCBS continues to advance its mission with a clear focus on quality assurance, institutional sustainability, and meaningful impact supporting Oman’s long-term aspirations through education, innovation, and human capital development.
