Caledonian College of Engineering

Now in its 19th year of operation, Caledonian College of Engineering (CCE) is the leading private higher education institution providing high quality technological education for the Sultanate of Oman and the region in general. The College has an affiliation agreement with Glasgow Caledonian University in the UK and a collaboration agreement with Vellore Institute of Technology University in India and has produced over 1,700 diplomates and over 3,000 graduates and 50 postgraduates since its inception in 1996. Today, CCE is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious private academic institutions in the country and categorised as a ‘university college', as distinct from a ‘college', in recognition of the depth of study offered in this specialised institution. CCE graduates enjoy a high record of employability due to quality programmes that fully conform to the Oman Qualifications Framework. All CCE programmes meet international standards as prescribed by agencies such as the Quality Assurance Agency, UK, and the All India Council for Technical Education. CCE takes pride in developing all aspects of a student's personality through a wide range of extracurricular activities that include creative activities, charity functions and sports. In addition, a comprehensive professional development programme enhances soft skills, building on principles inculcated during the Foundation Studies programme that conforms to national standards. Research at CCE creates new knowledge and imparts excitement and dynamism to the educational process. The approach of linking college-based researchers with industrial partners to undertake innovative, industry-driven research has attracted considerable funding and contributed to the future growth of the college. Tailor-made trainings are run through the College's IRCT Division, to enhance the competency of working individuals. CCE is committed to lifelong learning and human resource development in Oman and the region as awhole.
