Arabic programmes for non-native speakers

Established programmes at universities, institutes, national bodies and online platforms, for anyone learning Arabic as a foreign language. Filter by type of provider, by what the programme awards, by country, and by online study.

A descriptive directory: it describes each programme and links to its provider; this site has no tie to them. Fees and admission dates change every year — take them from the official page. «Accredited» means a university degree or diploma, or a certificate a recognised body accredits; «Certificate of completion» is the provider's own certificate.
