LoadingLead Arabic–English schools as bilingual systems—without QTS or a ministry teacher licence.
Online only

Bilingual education leadership in the Arab world fails when English is treated as prestige and Arabic as heritage decoration. This MA treats both as academic languages. You will map timetable politics, assessment language, and Vision 2030-style human-capital programmes as school-level operations, including GCC teacher-mobility files that confuse attestation with evaluation. Arab Leadership University will not award QTS, a U.S. teacher licence, or automatic ministry qualified-teacher status. You will write a bilingual improvement note a principal can table, design marker training that does not launder English scores as Arabic achievement, and lead a staff meeting that can switch script without losing the decision. The award is academic leadership study. It is not League of Arab States education employment and not a school inspection badge. It is for leaders who must keep Arabic and English honest in the same building. You will timetable a bilingual school week that does not hide Arabic achievement behind English prestige, train markers who switch script, and write a parent letter that states this MA is non-licensure. GCC teacher-mobility files and attested overseas teaching certificates are read as documents, not as QTS. Tuition-free online study includes identity-checked exams. No school-brand, Ofsted-style, or LAS education logos appear in the photo brief.
Thirty-six credits: bilingual leadership, assessment language, staff and parent systems, and a school-file capstone. Non-licensure on every public page. Tuition-free online. No school-brand or LAS logos in photos.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 18 months. Teaching language: English and Arabic (bilingual assessment; academic Arabic required for AR-medium tracks). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Arab Leadership University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
