Best universities to study Arabic

There are several top universities where you can study Arabic. A few of them include The University of Ibadan, The University of Ilorin, Kwara State College of Arabic and Islamic Legal Studies, Ahmadu Bello University, Bayero University Kano, etc.

You can find several other top schools on our list. However, the most important thing to look out for is accreditation. That is, know if the university you wish to apply to have NUC accreditation to run a degree in Arabic.

Unfortunately, that is not something we can provide answers to since schools lose and gain accreditation on an annual basis.

What you should know

Gaining admission to study Arabic is not too competitive in Nigeria. Therefore, a decent score in your JAMB UTME and Post UTME should be enough to secure your admission into the university.

You must also take note of the fact that the universities above have slightly varying requirements. To know those requirements read JAMB & WAEC Subject Combination For Arabic Studies.
