In addition, GUtech will start this year with two part-time MSc courses in Integrated Urban Planning and in Petroleum Geoscience.
All GUtech programmes were designed by professors from RWTH Aachen University in Germany and are tailor-made for the job requirements in the Gulf. "The language of tuition at GUtech is English. All our current BSc programmes are internationally accredited and all GUtech professors have international experience and were carefully selected by professors from RWTH Aachen University," said Professor Dr. Burkhard Rauhut.
