Two English for Academic Purposes courses (ENG 101, ENG 102) are compulsory for all students of all departments of the SSUA.

ENG 101 (Academic Reading and Writing)

This course is designed to focus on higher B2 and above English grammar and academic vocabulary knowledge along with intensive academic reading and writing skills.
