Welcome to the Faculty of Language Studies at the Arab Open University, KSA. The FLS is at the forefront in student enrollment and is integral to the University's past successes and future directions. We are also catering to the needs of other faculties by running Preparatory Language skills courses. The aim of the Faculty is to educate students in field of Linguistics and Literature. Students have to finish 129 credit hours in order to complete their graduation. They will be awarded two degrees, one from the AOU and another from the OU/UK. The program is accredited locally by the Ministry of Education and internationally by the OU Validation Service. The degree of the FLS is classified by the Ministry of Civil Service. Its graduates can work as English Language Teachers, Translators, News Readers, Reporters, Public Relation Officers, Content Developers and Writers.
All indicators of success are on the rise – undergraduate enrollment and achievement, graduate education, faculty success in garnering research, and international recognition to our students and faculty. Our highest priority is to prepare the next generation of students to meet all challenges while providing the training our students need to compete and excel in the workforce.
Our study plans are constantly updated looking into the requirement of job market and employability skills. If you would like to explore more about our college, faculty and programs, we encourage you to contact fls.office@arabou.edu.sa
