It's time for this week's #StudentSpotlight 🙌 Taher Al-Housni reflected on his experience studying two degrees at GCU, and the impact his studies have had on his career back in Oman 💙 Having spent three years in Glasgow to study his degree in BSc (Hons) Professional Studies in Nursing, Taher returned in 2024 to study MSc Nursing: Advancing Professional Practice 📝 Following the completion of his Undergraduate degree, Taher returned to Oman and his new-found knowledge allowed him to analyse and adapt theatre services within his place of work, Suhar Hospital 🏥 Taher said: "After graduating from my Undergraduate in July 2021, I became a Clinical Nurse Educator within the Operating Theater back in Oman. I have since collaborated with the nursing administration team to assess learning needs and help staff members develop. This would not have been possible without the knowledge gained from my degree. "I would definitely encourage other students to study at GCU. The reason to come to GCU is the opportunity to develop your academic skills. The second thing is that the staff here are very supportive, I must specifically mention Tom McAlear who has been amazing. The facilities are excellent here - it is just a very nice place to study. “I will hopefully graduate in September this year. I have to go back to Oman because I am here on study-leave and I owe so much to Suhar Hospital. I would not rule out returning to Scotland in future because there are many opportunities here.” Find out more about Taher's experience on our GCU Student Newsroom ➡
