Arabic

Welcome to the Arabic language programme. Arabic is the language spoken in a wide area stretching across Western Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.

It is an official language in 25 United Nations Member States.

We offer a variety of in-person and online courses, all tutor-led, intended for non-native Arabic speakers who want to acquire Arabic language skills to communicate in a professional context (Modern Standard Arabic).

Our general courses cover levels UN I to UN II and we offer specialized courses at different levels to improve the use of Arabic in both written and oral contexts.

We also offer Arabic dialect (Egyptian and Levantine) for students who want to work in the field.

Explore oral and written communication samples to learn about the skills expected at the UN I, UN II and UN III.

For more details, refer to the Arabic Programme Overview.
