WHAT WE OFFER
Education, Language and Communication
The Faculty of Language and Communication (FLC) is a vibrant and all-encompassing faculty that is deeply committed to community engagement. FLC’s thoughtfully designed curriculum and student activities aim to equip students with both theoretical and practical skills to become adaptable and sustainable graduates.
FLC was originally established on December 1, 1993, as the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) with the aim of empowering both students and staff with language skills. The centre offered courses in Malay, English, and third languages, and in 1994, it introduced the joint Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) programme with the Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development, enrolling its first 31 undergraduate students.
In 1996, the centre was renamed as the Centre for Language and Communication Studies (CLCS) to include the complementary field of communication studies. However, in 2000, the Communication Studies programme returned to the Faculty of Social Sciences, and CLCS was renamed once again as the Centre for Language Studies.
In 2004, the centre merged with the Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development. Although the TESL programme was believed to be better served under a faculty, they later separated and relocated to their respective buildings on the new campus in 2006. CLS continued to expand and in 2014, the Linguistics Programme was introduced.
Due to the vision of the Vice Chancellor, CLS was upgraded in January 2016 to the Faculty of Language Studies and Communication Studies (FLSCS) through the merger of CLS and the Communication Studies programme. The Communication Studies programme underwent a significant curriculum review and transformed into the Strategic Communication programme. FLSCS was rebranded as the Faculty of Language and Communication (FLC) in July 2017. Presently, FLC offers three full-time undergraduate programmes, including the Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics, Bachelor of Communication (Strategic Communication), and Bachelor of Arts in English for Global Communication. FLC also provides postgraduate studies in language and communication fields.
Overall, FLC strives to deliver a comprehensive education that prepares its students to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.
