BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few questions.
A clearer next step.
Our team can help you understand the options and choose where to start.
Do I need to know Arabic before I join? It depends on the programme. Arabic Foundations is for complete beginners, while Sanatayn does not require previous formal study. The Arabic Language Programme, ʿAlimiyyah and Dawrah al-Hadith have entry requirements reflecting their level. Use the course finder for a suggested starting point.
Can I study alongside work or university? Dar al-Iman’s programmes are part-time. The annual programmes combine Sunday teaching in London with weekday online sessions. They still involve a substantial study commitment, so check your chosen programme’s timetable and independent study expectations before applying.
Can I study entirely online? Sanatayn and The Iman Project are online programmes. The annual Arabic and scholarship pathway includes teaching in London, so check the delivery arrangements for the particular course you are considering.
How do I find out about fees and the next intake? Open a programme and follow its link to the current course page for the latest fees and admission information. You can also contact the team. The Arabic Foundations and Arabic Language pages currently invite interest for 2027/28.
