A Brief History and Account of the Department
Department of Arabic, University of Calicut had started functioning on 04.04.1974
and has contributed a lot to the growth and development of Arabic language and
literature in Kerala through the promotion of higher studies and research in this
field. Now it is one of the leading institutions for higher studies and research in
Arabic language and literature in the whole country. This department insists using
Arabic language as the medium of instruction, examination and for writing Ph.D
thesis and M.Phil dissertations. By now more than 75 scholars have been awarded
Ph.d under the supervision of the faculty members of this department. A quarterly
research journal ‘Kalikoot’ has started publishing from the department since 2006
which has received warm welcome from the teachers, students and scholars from
different parts of the country and acquired wide reputation all over the country and
even abroad with its well deliberated literary discourses.
The department has started a translation bureau for public service which under
takes the translation of various kinds of documents receiving a moderate fees. The
bureau selects a crew of students for providing the translation service at the Calicut
Airport for which they are paid remuneration. Hence these students are earning an
income while learning. Besides M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes; the
Department also offers two Post Graduate Diploma courses; one in ‘Translation and
Secretarial Practice in Arabic’ and the other in ‘Commerce and Management in
Arabic’. These courses include computer applications in Arabic and Tally
Accounting which will help these students to attain job in Arab countries as well as
in reputed companies within the country.
Most of the faculties of Arabic in the university departments and affiliated colleges
of Kerala are the alumnae of this department. A major portion of higher secondary
and high school teachers are also former students of the department. Many of them
work in private institution in an out of the state. A number of the former students of
the department are working in various Gulf countries on responsible posts in Govt.
and Public Sector Undertakings; as well as in the field of translation, teaching,
journalism etc. The department has been providing assistance and guidance to the
outgoing students for such placements.
The department library of the Department of Arabic is one of the best libraries for
Arabic books in the whole India especially in the area of contemporary literature.
Research scholars from universities inside and outside Kerala are visiting this library
for their reference. The department is also having a computer lab with internet
facilities and has been provided with a dish antenna through which the Arab
channels are downloaded and utilized for improving communication skills of the
students and training them in the simultaneous interpretation.
