Overview
The Certificate in Arabic Language Studies is designed for non-native speakers seeking to develop essential skills in both spoken and written Arabic. This program focuses on practical language use, enabling students to communicate effectively while gaining a foundational understanding of Arabic within its cultural, historical, and religious contexts.
Students are introduced to key Islamic texts such as the Qur’an and Hadith, encouraging a meaningful connection with classical Arabic.
The program also covers core linguistic structures and everyday vocabulary suitable for basic communication and academic exploration. This certificate is well-suited for individuals aiming to improve their Arabic for personal enrichment, early-stage professional use, or as a pathway toward further studies in the Arabic language.
Upon completion, students may progress to the Diploma in Arabic Language Studies and ultimately to the 4-year Bachelor’s program, building on their foundational knowledge and advancing to more comprehensive levels of proficiency.
