Short Courses

The Short Courses project is Hawza Online’s most recent initiative. Offered to the community at large, these courses address pertinent topics that are not covered comprehensively in the Hawza Studies programme. The courses are live, interactive, and delivered by recognised specialists. So far, we have conducted three short courses in English and one in French.

Le projet de cours courts est la toute dernière initiative de Hawza Online. Offerts à l’ensemble de la communauté, ces cours abordent des sujets pertinents qui ne sont pas couverts de manière exhaustive dans le programme d’études de la Hawza. Les cours sont en direct, interactifs et dispensés par des spécialistes reconnus. Jusqu’à présent, nous avons organisé trois cours courts en anglais et un en français.
