This program addresses the particular needs of  UAE society, and other similar communities, via a wide range of courses emphasizing the crucial role of English in the modern world. It sets its mission as a provider of relevant and rich learning experiences in relation to language study. Besides its commitment to the University’s overall philosophy, the program seeks to bridge the gap between the theoretical learning of English linguistics and the practical application of modern linguistic knowledge in the field of translation.

The major aim of the program is to graduate qualified English language specialists capable of undertaking general English language and translation tasks in a variety of contexts. Therefore, the program embraces a philosophy that stresses the value of multimedia and related technology in facilitating communication across cultures and languages.

In brief, this program, besides acknowledging linguistic theory, offers its students practical mechanisms where English is realized as a functional language and where translation is approached as a dynamic tool of communication.
