Studying Arabic in Rabat, Morocco provides students with the chance to immerse themselves fully in the language while also learning about the rich Arabic culture in the region. Because of Morocco’s moderate winter weather, Qalam’s Winter program is the perfect opportunity for students to take some time between semesters or during their holidays to improve their Arabic language skills in an exciting new environment. The program consists of 4 weeks of dedicated Arabic instruction, coupled with local excursions around the historic city, guest lecturers, and hands-on activities to provide more Arabic communication practice!
Through Qalam wa Lawh’s merit-based Ibn Battuta Arabic Scholarship, students from around the world can take part in this immersive opportunity for free. The deadline for applying to the Ibn Battuta Scholarship for the Winter 2020 Session is 30 June 2019.
