The Centre for Foreign Languages at Somali National University has announced the introduction of Swahili language courses, expanding its language education programmes and supporting Somalia’s growing engagement with the East African Community (EAC).
The new programme runs alongside the Centre’s English and Arabic courses, and registration is open for all of the Centre’s language programmes. Arabic and Swahili classes begin in October, and the Swahili programme runs for one academic year.
The launch follows the remarks of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud at the East African Cooperation and Economic Integration Conference (EACON 2025) on introducing Swahili teaching in Somalia as part of strengthening educational, cultural and economic ties with other EAC Partner States.
The Centre invites students, professionals, government employees and members of the public to enrol.
