Online only
Digital government in Arab states fails at the join between English vendor decks and Arabic citizen journeys. This degree starts there. You will treat national portals, fee waivers, and document attestation as policy instruments, and you will write a bilingual briefing a director can take into a cabinet committee without inventing a United Nations partnership. Arab Leadership University centres GCC, Levant, and Maghreb administrations because OECD digital-government indices hide the actual constraint: connectivity, Arabic UX, and evaluation of foreign credentials that attestation does not replace. You will interrogate dashboard theatre, design a service recovery path when the portal dies on Eid, and separate open-data slogans from files a journalist could FOI in jurisdictions that allow it. The award is academic. It is not a civil-service rank, not AU/UN employment, and not a cybersecurity licence. It is for people who must keep digital policy honest when the vendor has already invoiced for transformation. You will walk a citizen journey that starts in Arabic and dies in an English vendor ticket, then write the recovery path a municipality can staff. GCC identity wallets, fee waivers, and equivalency queues are treated as policy instruments. Maghreb and Levant portal capacity is compared without ranking theatre. Tuition-free online study still requires identity-checked exams. No ministry, AU, or United Nations logos appear in teaching images or student-facing banners.
Thirty-six credits: policy design, digital operations, bilingual briefing, and a service-file capstone. Tuition-free online. Identity-checked exams. No ministry, LAS, AU, or UN logos in photography.

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.
