The Nihal European University in Sudan

Students in the Humanities Faculty of the Nihal European University in Sudan will be trained at the highest international level. At the same time their studies should also have applied dimensions. Since we plan to have close contacts with industry, it seems important to have such a focus.

In the domain of contemporary language and cultural sciences the mutual relations between cultures should receive special consideration especially with respect to Sudan, the Arab world, Africa and Europe. In the process cultural and geographical aspects, including the religions and world views affiliated with them, will play a particularly important role especially in linguistics.

The research foci of the individual departments will clearly be determined by the direction taken by professors and lecturers in the framework of their teaching and their research agendas (inasmuch as the latter are subject to the modalities established for hiring faculty).

Teaching in the Humanities Faculty in accordance with the fundamental principles of the Nihal European University in Sudan should provide students with the skills necessary for successful activity throughout the course of their professional lives. It will not be limited to the teaching of up-to-date content, but will focus on instruction in theoretically informed concepts and methods that will outlast current trends to the greatest extent possible.

At the same time graduates of this Faculty should also be able to function as mediators between different cultures, advocating (and convincing others of) the value of a lived cultural pluralism within Sudan and throughout the world.
