The Arabic language serves as a portal to a new and exciting world, providing a direct insight into an increasingly relevant culture which is largely founded on different religious views and ways of thinking than in the West. The differences between Western and Arab culture is often experienced as a confrontation consisting of unsolvable problems. However, the intersection between them actually opens the way for both cultural and commercial cooperation. Studying Arabic will provide you with advanced skills which, when combined with other subjects, can make you very attractive in the labour market.
