STUDY

The Africa Institute, an interdisciplinary academic research institute, proudly presents four immersive language courses in Arabic, Amharic, Hausa, and Kiswahili, designed for non-native speakers. These courses, offered by our African Languages and Translation Program, provide an in-depth study of less-commonly taught languages and a unique window into the diverse cultural mosaic of the UAE and the African continent.

Each language offers eight-week-long elementary, intermediate, and advanced level courses with expert faculty, innovative teaching approaches, flexible learning options both in person and online, immersive cultural experiences, and certification awarded by The Africa Institute and the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA).

Admissions are open for our next intake in Fall 2024. Classes commence in the first week of October 2024.
