Developed in response to a demand for learning classical Arabic in a university environment, this master's degree in Arabic language is a dedicated language program focusing on developing skills in reading, writing and speaking Arabic, and analysing classical Islamic texts.
You'll study Arabic grammar and textual structures so you can access and understand classical primary Islamic text, learn to read and understand the Qur'an in its original Arabic. You will also develop a proficiency in modern standard Arabic so you can access contemporary Islamic scholarly discourse.
This Arabic language degree is available for part-time online study to complement your work and lifestyle commitments. You can also fast-track your studies by taking extra subjects in Session 3 (November to February), graduating sooner.
The Centre for Islamic Studies and Civilisation is a collaboration between Charles Sturt University and the Islamic Sciences and Research Academy of Australia (ISRA). Charles Sturt University's courses have been designed in collaboration with ISRA's advisory committee, which includes some of the most respected scholars from the Australian Muslim community.
Whether you are studying for personal interest or professional development, Charles Sturt University's Master of Classical Arabic will equip you with a valuable set of skills. As a graduate, you could pursue additional study to become a teacher or an academic with expertise in classical Arabic.
For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
You may need to attend an online or on-campus intensive school for certain subjects in this course. These schools usually involve lectures, tutorials and practicals that will give you a deeper understanding of your subject.
