  1. University studies begin with a unified Orientation Program for all new undergraduate students. The program is designed to equip students with essential skills in English, academic subjects, and personal development, ensuring a successful transition into university-level studies. Completion of the Orientation Program is a prerequisite for admission to academic programs. In accordance with Article (10/Second) of the Study and Examination Regulations, the following categories of students are exempt from both the Orientation Program and the English language placement test:
    1. Students with a high school/secondary average of at least 90%.
    2. Students with an average score of not less than 90% in all English language courses at the secondary level.
    3. Students holding internationally recognized general secondary education certificates such as A-Level, IB, or their equivalents.

  1.  The Orientation Program serves as a transitional phase to ensure that students meet the required standards of competence in higher education. Students who do not fall under the exempted categories mentioned above will be placed into one of the following levels of the program:
    • Pre-intermediate level, or
    • Intermediate level, of the Orientation Program

Based on the results of a placement test conducted for this purpose, and in consideration of the specific language and technical requirements.

  1. Upon successful completion of the Pre-Intermediate level, students who attain a score of 90% or higher will be eligible to sit for the Intermediate Level Exemption Examination.
