About Arab Leadership University

Fully online Arabic digital university serving the League of Arab States.

Overview

This MA is for lecturers, editors, and institutional writers who already move research between academic Arabic and English and need craft, not a sworn-translator stamp. Arab Leadership University will not appoint you as a certified translator and will not issue a press card. You will practise argument structure, citation ethics, and EN–AR translation of policy and research files used in GCC and Levant universities. Tuition-free online. Capstones are bilingual writing portfolios from real institutional genres, not literary pastiche with a palm-tree setting.

Delivered fully online with live seminars, recorded lectures, and tutor support.
