Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Foreign Languages

1. Introduction

The Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Foreign Languages is a vital pillar of Asia Euro University, comprising three departments: the Department of English, the Department of International Relations, and the Department of Chinese. All academic programs in each department are not only designed to meet societal demands, but are also closely aligned with practical requirements and the evolving shifts of current and future job markets.

Grounded in deep reforms to the quality of higher education, the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Foreign Languages has been actively implementing Outcome-Based Education (OBE). This is a modern educational system that shifts the focus from "what professors teach" to "what students can actually do and achieve" after graduation.

To ensure the achievement of these learning outcomes, the Faculty is creating positive and active learning environments. Students are encouraged and given full opportunities to participate in language and skill competitions, undertake research projects, and foster creativity and innovation. Furthermore, the curriculum strongly integrates pedagogical training and practical internships (Practicum). These mechanisms ensure that graduates from the Faculty become human resources with critical thinking abilities, high competitiveness, and complete qualifications to contribute to national development alongside local and ASEAN educational standards.

2. Vision

To become a leading faculty in training and developing human resources in foreign languages with genuine capability, excellence, professional ethics, and full competence to compete in the labor market in the era of globalization.
