As English is the language of instruction at Global University, the English Department provides two solutions for enhancing communication skills. The Intensive English Program is meant to enable students coming from French background or students who are generally weaker in English to develop excellent language skills. The English Extension Program caters for working persons who wish to enroll in one of our executive programs, or need to enhance oral, listening and writing skills. Instead of an English entrance exam, an electronic placement test aims at isolating weaknesses in order to select the appropriate level within our English remedial system. Both programs provide an essential preparatory step for academic studies without compromising quality.
The Arabic Language Program offered by Global University is intended chiefly for foreign students (non-native speakers of Arabic). In addition to Arabic language courses, the program includes a range of subjects in Arabic studies.
Global University is offering free intensive English courses for Grade 12 students, every year in July.
