The Language Unit CPKL (LU-CPKL)

Welcome to LU-CPKL, a service unit focusing on supporting and enhancing students’ language communication skills that will help you become proficient in influencing Islamic discourse, prepare you for university-level study and uphold the university’s central goal in producing Muslim graduates who can hold important leadership and community roles in society in Brunei Darussalam and beyond.

“Looking back at my EFIS (English for Islamic Studies) journey course, I find that it was actually a stepping stone onto my interest in producing dakwah videos in the future. EFIS is not only a simple English communication skills course but it’s a lifelong learning skill that will be beneficial for each individual. I honestly loved everything about the course, it has made me a more matured pupil and opened doors to my creativity cap. I feel that I was not studying English, but I was enjoying it instead!”

Mardhiah binte Rozalan (Singapore), Alumni student from Faculty of Syariah and Law (Academic session 20/21)
