Overview

The Arabic Modular Programme is designed to guide you step by step through the study of Arabic grammar at a pace that fits alongside your weekly routine. The programme is split into six modules spread across two academic years, with each term building on the last:

Modules 1–3 (Year 1: Beginner to Intermediate)
In your first year, you will study the foundations of Arabic grammar across three terms:
- Module 1 (Sept–Dec) introduces the essentials of Nahw and Sarf, giving you the building blocks of Arabic.
- Module 2 (Jan–Mar) develops your understanding with new rules and more complex sentence structures.
- Module 3 (Apr–Jul) takes you to an intermediate level, applying grammar to texts and preparing you for Year 2.

Modules 4–6 (Year 2: Intermediate to Advanced)
The second year strengthens and deepens your knowledge:
- Module 4 (Sept–Dec) consolidates intermediate topics and prepares you for advanced grammar.
- Module 5 (Jan–Mar) introduces advanced rules of Nahw and Sarf, including irregular and derived forms.
- Module 6 (Apr–Jul) completes the programme with advanced application, equipping you to independently analyse classical Arabic texts.

By the end of the programme, students will have moved from complete beginners to confidently engaging with Arabic grammar at an advanced level.
