Vision:
 The department of Arabic and Literatures inspires to be one of the leading departments among the international universities. This can be achieved through designing programs and study plans for Bachelor, Maser’s and PhD levels that contribute effectively in serving the Arab heritage, preserving the Arabic language and introducing it to students in its best form.
