  • 13th March, 2025 6:42pm

The Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) officially welcomed two students from Turkey who have joined the university’s English Proficiency Program marking the second batch of students under the initiative, following four female students who completed the certificate course last year.

 

The students received at the IUIU Main Campus, were welcomed by the Vice-Rector in charge of Academic Affairs, Dr. Jamil Serwanga, and the Academic Registrar, Dr. Halima Wakabi Akbar on Wednesday 12th March 2024.

 

The program, facilitated by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences under the Department of Language, Linguistics, and Literature, is part of an ongoing partnership between IUIU and universities in Turkey.

 

Dr. Serwanga emphasized the importance of the program in promoting English language proficiency among international students, particularly from countries where English is not the primary language. He highlighted Iuliu’s commitment to enhancing international collaborations and expanding language training opportunities.

 

"The program is open to students, teachers, and the general public, with centers at the main and Kampala campuses. Apart from English, we also offer courses in Arabic, Swahili, and French to further strengthen our international engagement," he noted.
