The Arab countries of the Middle East and North Africa form an area of critical global importance having broad strategic, economic, religious and cultural influence. In Australia, Arabic is the second most common language (excluding English) spoken in the home.*
A Deakin undergraduate course is the foundation of your future career, usually completed in two to four years. Duration varies based on degree type, enrolment pattern and any credit received from recognition of prior learning.
Research degrees are research based master’s or PhD programs that focus on a single area of expertise. They provide students the opportunity to carry out highly specialised research under expert supervision.

Graduates can find employment in the following fields:
Studying Arabic at Deakin gives you the option to extend your language skills and get a competitive edge in the job market with an immersive in-country language program. For six weeks you will study the Arabic language and culture in its own environment while gaining course credit.
In addition to our language diplomas, languages can be studied as a major or minor sequence within the Bachelor of Arts and as a major within the Bachelor of International Studies and Bachelor of International Studies (Global Scholar). On top of this, a language may be able to be studied across many of Deakin’s other courses.
If you've got a unique take on how the Arabic language can further benefit cross-cultural partnerships or add insight into another field of study, a higher degree by research could be for you.
