The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Canberra advises that several universities in Saudi Arabia offer places for Australian students to undertake Arabic language studies. The Embassy is seeking nominations for these scholarships.
The scholarship opportunities include:
- King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah has offered two places for Australian students to undertake studies in the Arabic Language Department, as well as offering to receive a number of other students to study the Arabic language for one semester, or to undertake other Arabic language courses of study;
- King Saud University, Riyadh has already assigned one scholarship for the study of the Arabic language;
- Umm Al-Qura University, Mecca has made available two scholarships for the study of the Arabic language (please note that by virtue of its location, students enrolled at this University must be Muslims); and
- Imam Mohammad bin Saud University, Riyadh has made available five scholarships for the study of the Arabic language by Australian students in a course extending over a two year period.
Universities are encouraged to send nominations directly to the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Canberra. The Embassy will then facilitate the granting of scholarships to suitable candidates.
