Certificate:

• Half the price
• You can apply for a scholarship.
• You get 1st priority in terms of getting a place on a course if it’s oversubscribed.
• You must do Arabic before or alongside Hawza modules. An exception is made for students joining for the first time in Semester 2 (February). Such students must take Arabic in the following September, i.e. in Semester 1 of the new academic year. This is because the Arabic course can only be started in Semester 1.

• You can’t apply for a scholarship.
• You get 2nd priority in terms of getting a place on a course if it’s oversubscribed.
