About Arabic/Social Studies

Arabic and Social Studies is an interdisciplinary programme that equips students with proficiency in the Arabic language alongside a deep understanding of social science concepts, human behaviour, and societal structures. Students study classical and modern Arabic, Islamic civilisation, history, geography, economics, and civic education, developing strong analytical and communicative competencies. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as Arabic language teachers in public and private schools, translators and interpreters for government agencies and international organisations, diplomatic officers serving in Arabic-speaking nations, or researchers and consultants in Islamic studies and social policy. Those entering the teaching profession may register with the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria, while graduates in public service can advance through relevant civil service frameworks and policy institutions across the country.
