Dear rekan-rekan,

Bagi yang mau melanjutkan studi ke Qatar untuk mendalami Arabik atau
studi Islam, bisa mengklik bagian ini:

http://www.qu.edu.qa/students/scholarship/types.php

Di situ ada info beasiswa master maupun S1 (bachelor, kalau ada yang
mau ngulang lagi). Lumayan, mumpung lagi kaya Qatar kasih beasiswa,
nanti kalau udah kere 50 tahun lagi, dengan minyaknya yang habis,
pasti minta beasiswa ke NKRI. hehehe.

So, yang punya cita-cita lanjut ke Arab, kesempatan ini jangan
diliwatkan.

Ada pula info ke negara lainnya, Mesir, Marok, Tunisia, Algeria, di
www.ditpertais.net. Tiap tahun biasanya buka antara Maret-Agustus,
masing2 negara berbeda.

kalau Lebanon, seperti Universite St Joseph di Beirut biasanya kasih
beasiswa untuk kajian Arab, tapi selain Arab dan Inggris, mereka minta
kemampuan dasar bahasa Prancis. Mungkin beda dengan American Univ of
Lebanon, cukup eglish dan arabic boleh. Infonya ada di universitas
bersangkutan. Googling saja.

Silakan... Terima kasih dan sukses untuk semua.

Salam,

Oxford Brookes University and Université de Paris XII Val de Marne are interested in providing a new Postgraduate Certificate award in 'Humanitarianism and Conflict' which would be studied by Distance Learning. The new Postgraduate certificate aims to link applied practice with theory through sharing experience, discussion with key practitioners, critical reflections on experience and conceptual learning to practitioners from all parts of the world.
It will be based on the conceptual knowledge and experiences represented in the French and English humanitarian practices and understandings. The new award would be a dual award which would mean that the Postgraduate Certificate would be delivered jointly by both partners and that each student will receive an award from Oxford Brookes University and from Université de Paris XII Val de Marne. To take the programme you would need to have an active knowledge of either French or English and a passive knowledge of the other.
We would like to be sure that the proposed programme meets the needs of potential students and find out the level of interest in such a course. We would therefore appreciate if you could spare a few minutes to fill in this short questionnaire, which can be found at:
