About Faculty of Languages
The Faculty of Languages is validated by Bedfordshire University in England. The certificate awarded by the Ministry of Higher Education to the graduate of the Faculty of Languages is equivalent to the certificate awarded by Faculties of Alsun in Egypt. The Faculty of Languages is therefore a distinguished faculty as it is the first of its kind that provides its students with two certificates, British and Egyptian. It is set up with a view to meet the demands dictated by a fast changing world heading towards globalization. In such a world characterized by an ever increasing body of information and fast communication, the need arises for catching up with up-to-date information, understanding global culture and at the same time preserving a national identity. The Faculty of Languages offers four separate programmes, namely BA (Hons) Translation, BA (Hons) Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), BA (Hons) Executive Skills, and BA (Hons) Comparative Studies. The main aim of the faculty is to help students acquire deep knowledge and understanding of major concepts and acquire critical thinking and professional skills in the fields of English Language Studies; and to prepare them to become effective and dynamic in job markets. Staff members of the faculty of Languages MSA, work hard in order to bring the world of education of our British partners at Bedfordshire University to our students and proudly present our students & graduates to the international job market.
