We at the School of Multidisciplinary Studies, view international academic activity as an essential component in preparing our students for the realities of a global economy, both as professionals and as citizens.
We see the challenges created by the acceleration of technological innovation, the strengthening of global connectivity, and geopolitical changes as opportunities to promote collaboration with universities and organizations around the world for the purpose of mutual learning.
We invest considerable effort in expanding our global activity through international courses, research collaborations, and reciprocal academic visits. Our goal on the international level is to foster cultural openness alongside intellectual and professional enrichment for the benefit of students, lecturers, and entrepreneurs from all fields, anywhere in the world.

The aim of the international course is to provide students with the foundations of Business English, with an emphasis on an international and multicultural environment, and to strengthen their confidence in using English in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in business contexts.
As part of the course, students from academic institutions around the world expand their vocabulary and practice using Business English in everyday situations such as phone calls, meetings, presentations, and negotiations, while developing communication skills and active listening. In addition, their technical writing skills are improved through the drafting of formal and informal emails, and their speaking skills are strengthened through simulations, interviews, and role-playing activities.
The course also includes reading a variety of texts and preparing a group presentation, while encouraging teamwork and collaboration—all with the aim of improving students’ readiness for the job market. In the age of artificial intelligence and a globalized world, the importance of working in international teams and using professional English has become paramount.
