Helping the students of KAUST develop the necessary skills to communicate their ground-breaking science to a global audience
Our Mission
Through our courses, workshops, and one-on-one support, we:
- support academic success with a strong foundational English language program and a range of skill-building courses
- empower students to present themselves and their research with confidence
- expand professional opportunity through the development of strong scientific writing, oral communication, and presentation skills
As a unit, we are dedicated to serving the student population, the majority of whom are non-native speakers of English. Students often need our support and additional English language instruction at the start of their academic programs and while writing their theses and dissertations.

Request a tailor-made short course or workshop from the ELCP
Although the ELCP offers a range of courses and workshops, there may be something specific related to English you want your team at KAUST to concentrate on. Maybe you want your students to work on an elevator pitch, prepare for a 3MT competition, or write a research proposal, for example?
Whatever your needs, you can now send them directly to us by following this link.
