Rector's Message
At SIMAD University, our mission is to nurture graduates who are not only academically accomplished but also globally competent. In today’s interconnected world, English language proficiency is a core skill—one that enables our students and staff to pursue international opportunities, contribute to global discourse, and thrive in cross-cultural environments.
In this context, the introduction of the Cambridge Linguaskill Test is a strategic step forward. Developed by Cambridge English, Linguaskill is a research-based, adaptive assessment that provides a reliable measure of English proficiency across key language domains. Its adoption reflects our broader commitment to academic quality assurance and institutional benchmarking.
This initiative is fully aligned with SIMAD University’s quality enhancement agenda. By institutionalizing a standardized language assessment, we strengthen our culture of continuous improvement, evidence-based evaluation, and international comparability.
As we deepen our engagement with global academic networks and expand opportunities for student and staff mobility, tools like Linguaskill reinforce our commitment to excellence, relevance, and competitiveness in a multilingual world.
Language proficiency is not a peripheral skill—it is a foundational enabler of academic success, institutional reputation, and long-term development. Through initiatives like Linguaskill, SIMAD University continues to equip its community with the competencies required to excel in a knowledge-driven global landscape.
