The aim of this study is to examine the level of work values and quality of life among students at Sultan Qaboos University (S.Q.U).

It attempts to identify how these values contribute to quality of life at the university, taking into consideration gender and academic specialty.

Questionnaires containing questions about work values and quality of life were distributed to a sample population consisting of (286) male and female students.

The results of the study show that all of the work values exceed their means, except for the values of physical fitness and adventure.

The work values that contribute most to quality of life are as follows: achievement, personal growth, social relations, and life style.

The contribution of these values to quality of life at the university show no significant difference due to gender.

One's academic specialty at the university appears to play a significant role in contributing to quality of life in the following descending order: engineering, medicine, science, education and commerce.

No significance of difference was determined in the faculties of agriculture and art.
