our-week Intensive Arabic Course

The University of Westminster is offering a Four-week Intensive Arabic  
Course this
summer, which may be taken as university credits, or just out of  
interest.

COURSE CODE: 1LIB406 Intensive Modern Standard Arabic

DATES:  22nd July – 15th August 2003

TIMES:  Classes are held between 10:00am and 1:00pm, Monday to Friday.   
Afternoons
are kept free so that you can study on your own, explore London, and/or  
join our cultural
programme.

ENTRY LEVEL:  This course is open to complete Beginners, but is also  
especially suitable
for students who may already know a little Arabic: for instance, those  
who can read the
alphabet (e.g. through familiarity with the Qur’an) but have not  
studied the grammar, or
those who have learned a bit of the language (e.g. self-taught or on  
holiday) and now wish
to study it more formally.

COURSE DETAILS:  By the end of the module, students will be able to  
conduct basic
conversations in Standard Arabic, read and write simple texts.  This  
module is an intensive
introduction to Modern Standard Arabic, covering both written and  
spoken Arabic.  The
module goes at a brisk pace, and includes formal assessment at the end.  
  For this reason it
is also suitable for students who may be considering part-time study in  
the Autumn, but
who would like an intensive ‘burst’ to get them going.  The type of  
language and
vocabulary taught is primarily that of the modern media and personal  
communication.

CREDIT VALUE OR NON-CREDIT:  This course carries 15 credits, based on  
the
standard UK 120-credit academic year.  This means that you may use the  
credits gained
with us towards an award at your home college, although you must  
confirm with your own
institution that credit is transferable in this way.  If you elect to  
study for credits you will be
required to complete assessed coursework and/or an examination.   
Students successfully
completing a module on a ‘credit bearing’ basis will be awarded a  
Certificate of Special
Study.  Alternatively, you may chose to take this module on a  
‘non-credit’ basis, simply for
fun and intellectual stimulation, in which case you will not be  
required to submit assessed
work.  Students taking a module on this basis will be presented with a  
letter of attendance.

STUDY FACILITIES:
Summer School students have full access to the library and computing  
facilities of the
University, including the Internet, e-mail and library borrowing  
rights.  Our fully up-to-date
facilities make use of the latest standard computing software, and a  
helpdesk is on hand to
offer advice and support.  Our Training Officer offers an induction  
programme to make
sure that all students can make full use of our IT facilities.

CULTURAL PROGRAMME:  There is a popular programme of low-cost visits in  
the
afternoons and evenings to places of interest in and around London, and  
day trips at the
weekends.  You can join in a trip to Hampton Court, St. Paul's, the  
Houses of Parliament,
to some of London's huge variety of museums and galleries, or relax in  
one of the many
restaurants, parks or cafés, which London has to offer.

ACCOMODATION:  Students can reserve accommodation in one of our Halls of
Residence, which are close to the University and to many of London's  
major attractions.
Each student has a single room.  The 2003 fee for three weeks'  
accommodation in halls
from Sunday 20 July to Friday 8 August will be £410. Additional nights'  
accommodation
can be reserved at a fee of £21.50 per night.  For further details,  
please visit our website at

TUITION FEES:  450.00GBP for EU students / 675.00 GBP for Non-EU  
students /
Current University of Westminster home students are eligible for a  
reduced fee of £175 per
module.

LOCATION:  The University of Westminster occupies a set of  
architecturally distinctive
buildings in superb positions in the West End of London. All teaching  
on the Liberal Arts
Summer School takes place either in our Regent Street headquarters, or  
two minutes' walk
away in Little Titchfield Street, both right in the heart of central  
London.
