UCD student
to pioneer BA International
degree in Syria |
Ruth
Ní Fhionnáin has been accepted as a visiting
student into the French Institute of Arab Studies (IFEAD)
at Damascus, for the academic year 2002-3.
She travelled
in the Middle East during last summer and attended courses
in Cairo and at the Institute in Damascus. Next September
she will go back to IFEAD for the full academic year, to
study Arab language, literature and culture.
"The
variety of courses on offer will introduce me to
new aspects of Arabic culture, such as modern day
politics, and allow me to pursue my interest in modern
Arabic literature," says Ruth, a second year student
of Italian and Arabic. IFEAD was founded in 1922 as a
teaching and research centre for Arabic Studies covering
the areas of Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon.
