Centre For General Studies - Director's Message

Welcome to the Centre for General Studies!

At the Royal University for Women, the Centre for General Studies (CGS) serves as a dynamic hub for academic excellence and personal growth. As a foundational pillar of the university, CGS is dedicated to nurturing well-rounded, critically engaged, and globally aware students through two key programs:

The English for Academic Success (EAS) Programme

Designed as a preparatory one-year programme, the English for Academic Success programme equips students with essential English language and academic skills to succeed in their undergraduate studies. Certified by Pearson, UK, the program develops critical thinking, communication, and comprehension through interactive courses such as Listening, Speaking, and Critical Thinking and Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking. Whether completing one or two semesters based on proficiency, students leave the program ready to thrive in an English-medium academic environment.

Liberal Arts Education

The Centre for General Studies also offers a diverse range of liberal arts courses that inspire intellectual exploration and interdisciplinary learning. These courses empower students to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage with complex global issues, laying a strong foundation for leadership and innovation.

At the Centre for General Studies, we celebrate the transformative power of education and are committed to preparing students for success, both academically and personally. We invite you to explore our programs and discover the opportunities that await.

We are so proud of what we do here in the Centre for General Studies. We can’t wait to meet you!

Warm regards,
