The signing of MoU has propelled to the forefront the various projects of the two institutions such as the offering of teaser courses in July and August. French can be taken as an elective in the first semester of 2017-2018. Screening of French films with Arabic and English subtitles assures a greater degree of acculturalisation with the presence and active involvement of Francophiles and Francophones in the college.
A very enriching experience awaits the GC and CFO staff, students and external communities as more cultural activities come to light. Photo exhibitions, music concerts, theatrical plays, conferences, workshops and researches are about to converge to maximise the full potential of the coveted partnership.
