The answer

It is permissible to purchase American or Jewish goods that benefit Muslims and cannot be obtained from Islamic companies or countries, especially if they are programs and technologies from which various matters can benefit. Therefore, there is no harm in continuing one's studies and benefiting from the programs available at the Computer Institute, and specializing in database entry based on Oracle, with the intention of benefiting Muslims.
