Program overview

A master degree in teaching Arabic as a foreign language, covering second language acquisition, Arabic linguistics, materials and syllabus design, assessment and classroom practice.

This is a rare specialism in British higher education, and at GBP 18,150 it sits below most masters here.

Master of Arts - Arabic Language Teaching is taught at the University of London Met, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the Arabic language teaching masters is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the Arabic language teaching masters, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the Arabic language teaching masters plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the Arabic language teaching masters does not support a family move.

Candidates for Master of Arts - Arabic Language Teaching present a completed bachelor degree or equivalent at 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the Arabic language teaching masters is recorded at GBP 18,150.

Admission requirements

Who can apply (guide for international students):

  • Education: A completed bachelor degree or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
  • English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 59 in every component. The Duolingo English Test is NOT accepted on this course.
  • Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
  • Scholarship: London Met applies an India Bright Futures Scholarship worth GBP 5,000 to eligible Indian students automatically, with no separate application form. You apply for the course as normal and the award appears on your offer if you qualify. Confirm the figure on that offer rather than assuming it, and check the eligibility conditions for your intake before budgeting around it.
  • Additional requirement: London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
  • Work rights: the Arabic language teaching masters is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
  • Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
