Arabic

At Dalarna University, you can study Arabic at the undergraduate level. We offer online courses in modern standard Arabic as well as courses in Arabic literature and advanced courses in Arabic grammar.

Language Skills Open New Doors

When you study Arabic, you gain a better understanding of the cultures of the Arab World. You also learn a language that can be a great asset in the fast-growing global job market. In both the Gulf region and Europe, employment opportunities that require Arabic are good in the world of finance and the business sector. Further, many companies in other parts of the world want to establish themselves in an Arabic-speaking country, meaning communication skills in Arabic are valuable.

Arabic is now the second-largest language used in Sweden. Many study Arabic because of their interest in religion or wish to be able to communicate with relatives and friends. Our language courses are also suitable for those who work as mother tongue teachers of Arabic.

Please contact our head of subject to see which course is the right one for you.

Online Studies

No matter your location, you can take our courses. We offer online education, and what that means is that all your lectures, seminars, and examinations are digital, without any physical meetings. Classes are in real time and involve a great deal of direct interaction with other students and your teacher.

Courses

Beginner-level courses give you an introduction to the Arabic alphabet. You will learn to read and write in Arabic, and will build a basic vocabulary in modern standard Arabic. As you increase your vocabulary and knowledge of Arabic grammar, the courses broaden to include the reading of poetry, short stories, newspaper articles, and news items.

When you choose a course in Arabic, you should know that written and spoken Arabic differ greatly from each other. Modern Standard Arabic is a good foundation if you want to read the Qur'an, understand news, and are interested in the grammatical and structural aspects of Arabic. Spoken standard Arabic is understood in all Arab countries but is only used in news broadcasts and for official speeches and appearances. If you are only interested in speaking Arabic, you should choose a dialect course.

Study Abroad

Through the Erasmus programme, you can study at one of our partner universities in Europe.
