History
The National University of Modern Languages was established as an institute in 1969 to help people communicate and understand each other in different oriental and occidental languages, to assimilate different cultures and to act as a springboard for emerging disciplines. Initially, the institute provided language training facilities to the Armed Forced personnel and other government servants. In May 2000, its status was upgraded from an institution to a University. In achieving this benchmark of a fully autonomous University, it has crossed many milestones and overcome countless barriers in order to achieve the status of a respected seat of learning contributing new knowledge to local and global perspectives and providing education in 21 occidental and oriental languages. Now, the University has a vibrant and well-grounded research program, offering MS/MPhil and PhD research degrees in various disciplines.
