Arabic for Non-Native Speakers Program, Qatar University

ANNS Center' s mission is to provide instruction and opportunities to learn Arabic for non-native speakers from diverse religious and national backgrounds

The center was founded as an academic unit within the Arabic Language Department by University regulation 7, enacted by the University President in 1986. The center has since served over 600 students representing more than 50 nationalities. Beginning in the Academic Year 2006-07, the center has operated as its own Department, independent of the Arabic Language Department, and has developed its own mission, vision, and objectives.
