Review what you can demonstrate

Choose three pieces of study work: analysis or design, teamwork, and writing or presenting. Record your own contribution, tool used, outcome and what you would change. Do not claim the whole team’s results as your individual work.

Check an internship before relying on it

A programme may specify study year, subject, GPA, citizenship or university nomination. Review its current announcement and your college’s placement office. Ask about tasks, supervisor, duration, location and assessment, and whether any allowance or transport is included in the offer.

Build a project with an Oman context

Choose a small problem such as Arabic website usability, a fictional supply route, a visitor guide or public-data analysis. Explain assumptions and data limitations. If working with an organisation, obtain permission before publishing its material or results.

Discuss your needs
