Description

The Bachelor of Arts in Arabic Language Studies (BA ALS) degree has been formulated to provide non-native speakers of Arabic with a firm foundation in Arabic.

The program adopts a second-language teaching approach and is offered from applied linguistic perspectives. The program is also informed and underpinned by principles of understanding Arabic from an Islamic perspective (sociocultural and religious aspects), owing to the close relation between Islamic sciences and the Arabic language.

The BA ALS program is ideal for students wanting to gain functional, communicative (second language) competency in Arabic.

The BA ALS program is based on world-renowned texts and curricula approaches of leading international universities in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, acknowledged for their innovative approaches to second language acquisition via an integrated and incorporated study of selected religious texts.

Career paths for graduates of this program include: Arabic language teacher (when combined with a relevant teaching qualification), writer, and interpreter and translator (entry level).
