Computer whiz develops first
multilingual website
MUSCAT — Mazoon College for Management and Applied Sciences has launched an
English-Arabic language website, which is the first multilingual website in
Oman. The website is hosted and maintained by Tariq bin Hilal al Barwani, and
can be accessed at
www.mazooncollege.com
Mazoon College for Management and Applied Sciences was established in 1999
with the objective to make a wide range of high quality English-medium college
degree programmes available locally in Oman. The college is exclusively for
women, although its evening programmes are open to all.
The college currently offers five two-year Associate degree programmes —
Accounting, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Computer
Science and Business English. The college's academic affiliation agreement is
with the University of Missouri — Rolla (UMR) in the US.
Commenting on the launch of the website, Dr Juma al Ghailani, Dean, said: "Our
website was designed using the latest in Internet technologies and features
invaluable information such as our profile, programmes and courses,
facilities, and our contact details.
The website can be accessed in both English as well as Arabic. I chose Tariq
to develop our website because of his exceptional talents, professionalism and
previous work in the same field." Tariq al Barwani added: "Developing the
first English and Arabic website in Oman for a private college was one of my
activities during my university vacation, which I feel was time well
utilised."
