Structure of UGS

Board of Umran Green School 

Structure of School of Language

Umran Green School manages the School of Language online. It presently has 15 foreign languages ranging from A1 to B2 and three  more languages have just been introduced. Our language schools proceed with a decentralised system where each language is treated as a distinct department with its own Head of Department. Academic staff refers to the department’s other instructors.

Decentralisation is done to honour the effort of each individual within the organisation and to make sure everyone gets the benefits from their work.
