Arabic and Islamic Units of study
The department offers two types of units covering two inter-related areas of study: Arabic Language and Literature (ARBC) units are language based and deal with Arabic language material (advanced classes are conducted mostly in Arabic); and units of study on the Arab World, Islam and the Middle East (ARIS, where classes and texts are in English). ARIS units are open to students whether they are taking ARBC units or not.
Arabic Language programs are offered in two streams: One for beginners, where first year units focus on language acquisition and skills. Students taking these units are able to develop their language skills and knowledge of Arabic literature and culture in subsequent years. The other language stream is for advanced students with sufficient learning experience of Arabic (HSC Arabic or equivalent) and who already read and write in Arabic.
