Course Overview

The Introductory Certificate in the Arabic Language is intended for candidates interested in learning the Arabic language for personal enrichment; to become familiar with certain aspects of Arab culture, society, and history; or to pursue further education in the academic fields of Middle Eastern History, Arabic Studies, Religious Studies, International Studies, and Islamic Studies.

The philosophy of this programme is to teach Arabic as a living language to a diverse body of students with a wide variety of academic and professional needs or personal interests. Therefore, it aims to develop all four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Through religious, academic, scientific, philosophical, and business terminologies, Arabic has left important influences on other languages of the Islamic world, where Arabic is not the main or official language. Moreover, due to the vicinity and trade connections between Europe and Islamic lands, there have been major Islamic contributions and cultural influences to both medieval Europe and the Renaissance period.
