The programme aims to introduce students to the basic elements of Arab culture and role of Islam in Middle East countries and enable students to grasp the very basics of the Arabic language including greetings and self-introduction, yet excluding the writing system.

Students are provided with brief geographical and historical background information of the Arab world, where the cultural varieties and regional differences are also touched upon.
