This English Course serves as foundation in the Medical and Dentistry College for students aiming for the CEFR B1 level. Integration of the four language skills is achieved using an increasing range of listening, reading, and writing texts in various context settings. The focus on communicative interaction is maintained and supported by means of a variety of familiar topics offering students greater exposure to authentic texts and cultivating an appreciation of all four language skills. On successful completion, students will progress to ENGL1500. They will also be able to use the learned medical vocabulary in their conversations.

The course uses both lectures and practical application to introduce students to the basic computer concepts in hardware, software, networking, computer security, databases, websites and other emerging technologies such as blogs, wiki, RSS, podcasting, and Google Apps. Applications widely used including word processing, spreadsheets, databases, presentation, and web development programs are studied. The course will also help students develop critical thinking skills as well as learning terminology and problem-solving techniques to solve IT problems. The course will focus on performing tasks that simulate practical and professional situations.

The university skills course aims to teach students the basic skills that the university student should know for all disciplines. In this course, the student also learns how to effectively recall methods and how to create a cognitive map of information and skills, in addition to teaching scientific research skills and simple and complex thinking skills. At the end of the semester, student masters a large number of skills that help him to successfully complete his/her university degree and prepare for the labor market.

This integrated English for Medical Purposes course provides an introduction to medical terminology via the concepts and methods pertinent to studying in an academic context. The cultivation of study skills, critical thinking, and the development of autonomous learning are integrated in the course as are key academic skills required for successful participation at undergraduate level. The receptive skills of listening and reading for detail, gist, global understanding and deducing meaning from context and inference ensure students receive language input essential for academic preparation. Students are expected to achieve intermediate plus proficiency (B1 – B2) on successful completion of the course.

This course introduces students to a physical description of living systems. The concepts of force, energy, oscillations, waves, and image formation and its relevance to living systems, especially in the human body. This course introduces students to the relationship between Laws of Physics and human body, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. It covers many topics: (1) The human body, tissues, bones, and cells are all subject to the Laws of Physics and Chemistry. The proper function, dysfunction, treatment of the body and its parts, the impact and constraints of the Laws of Physics. (2) The concepts and quantitative methods of physics are employed to understand the workings of the human ear, the human eye, and human metabolism. (3) The concepts and quantitative methods of wave motion and image formation are specifically applied to medical imaging techniques (e.g. ultrasound sonography, X-ray imaging, and CT-, PET-, and MRI-scans), to learn of their strengths, weaknesses, and ranges of applicability.
