I would like to extend my appreciation to the faculty members at Department of Arabic Language and Literature. They did a great effort with us and facilitated our educational journey on all levels, especially for Master’s students. My message is one of deep gratitude for their generosity of heart. I extend special thanks to Dr. Mariam Belajeed and Dr. Mahmoud Yaqout for everything they did for us.

University of Sharjah was inaugurated in 1997. We were among the first students to enroll and graduate. We were there not only to acquire an academic degree but also to leave an imprint and to accomplish our goal to serve our language and our community. Academic research has become an essential part of the academic curriculum. Students hold discussion sessions in their classes with their experienced professors who have a significant history in teaching and publishing in the field. This type of curriculum has paved the way for major scientific breakthroughs that contributed to rich vertical and horizontal types of Arabic language knowledge, both deep and comprehensive. Our professors are poets, journalists, and more. They work within their specializations.
