Can Arabic fit alongside my university degree?

Plan your Arabic around lectures, assignments and exam weeks, with a clear study goal.

Plan for the whole term. The time you have in the first week may look very different when coursework, exams and paid work overlap.

Put the term on one calendar

Add lectures, work shifts, deadlines and exam periods before choosing Arabic session times. Include homework as well as live attendance.

Hiwar offers scheduling 24/7. Choose a fixed cohort timetable or agree regular 1:1 times in your time zone. Arrange later changes or pauses with Hiwar.

Know what you want Arabic to help you do

Reading an article, following a lecture and speaking during a trip are different goals. Name the task that matters most and compare it with the curriculum outcomes.

If you need admission to a course, transferable credit or an external exam result, check the institution’s requirements directly. Do not assume completing Hiwar automatically meets them.

Use your previous learning

Bring details of earlier courses, self-study or recitation. The placement exam includes written answers and oral recordings, manually reviewed by Hiwar’s academic advisor.

A level label from another provider may cover different material. Placement considers what you can use now.

Review the cost before committing

Ask for total tuition, payment amounts and dates in writing. If someone else is helping pay, review the plan together.

Check the cost and commitment guide. Your payment schedule and learning timeline are separate.
