What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
Students should have completed Arabic 3 lower: module 2, or studied Arabic for approximately 3 years recently or have developed an equivalent competence in the language. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart, using the link at the top of this page.
