The program is available in English or any local language, such as Arabic, Turkish, or Russian. Students who choose to complete their studies in English will have all projects and assessments conducted in English. For those selecting a local language, instruction will be delivered in a combination of English and the chosen language (e.g., Arabic, Turkish, Russian), with projects and assessments completed in that local language.
