MUSCAT: The Majors’ Fair organised by the Centre for Career Guidance at Sultan Qaboos University commenced on Tuesday at the Grand Hall of the University’s Cultural Centre, under the patronage of Dr Said bin Hamed al Rubaii, Secretary-General of the Education Council.


The Centre of Career Guidance organises the annual Majors Fair in fall semester of the academic year, to help new students in choosing academic majors thoughtfully and overcome the tension and confusion associated with this decision.


Majors Fair includes stations representing 62 academic majors offered by nine colleges at the university, in addition to stations of SQU and different employers’ participations, to answer all of visitors’ questions about the different majors and the nature of related jobs. The event aims to increase newly admitted students’ awareness of available majors, and related skills and jobs and to help them plan a successful career path that begins by choosing the right major.


The fair targets SQU students who are about to choose their academic majors, new students and those willing to familiarise with the labour market and career opportunities related to their majors. Students who would like to change their Majors within the college, or are looking for transfers from one college to another, would also benefit from this event.


The event is designed to assist all students needing to know more about undergraduate majors and minors. It also provides students the opportunity to obtain information on decision-making and meet with representatives from all departments or colleges all at one place at one time. The two-day fair targets school students, parents and career advisers from schools who like to learn about academic majors and future job prospects associated with the specialisations.
