Hello, everyone.

I am writing this post to look to some helps from algerians or foreigners who are studying in Algeria.

Since I really like algeria, i am currently planning to study Arabic and French by staying in algeria(either in the university or in the institute)

But, as per my understanding, it may be impossible to get a visa in algeria only to study languages in the institue, so I am now considering my options to enter the university in algeria to obtain a visa and to study as well.

However, i am not good at arabic(basic level) and french(not at all), so i need to find the university which accepts foreign students who do not speak french and arabic and proceeds with the lessons in English (Yes, i do speak English). When i search the information i need, i cannot find any of them on the internet.

Therefore, I would like to know (1) whether there is a way for foreigners to stay and study languages with the proper visa(not as a worker) in algeria or (2) there is a university that accepts foreigners who only speak English and if any, how can I apply for this university?(Please explain well the procedure and documentations required. For your information, i already graduated from the university in my country and if required, i can submit its certificate)

I am really looking forward to useful advice and helps^^

Hi Samir Lee just came across your post... Is your situation still the same ? Where about in Algeria are you looking to study?聽 Did u consider a working visa? Or do you prefer to study..? I know a school in Algiers you can learn Arabic for expatriates but not sure it would be enough for a visa !!!

honest advice from me , Algeria as a state聽 doesn't provide any good university to meet your needs , if i were you i'd go to Egypt or Syria,,i know a lot of authors and famous people who learn Arabic there,,some Chinese聽聽and English聽 ,American , French people , i am being honest with you here , there's other solution is to find someone who's ready to teach you learning Arabic ,,,Universities here do not even use Arabic properly

Good luck

hello there

iam Algerian and iam sorry to read all that replies from forigners about Algeria , i am sure that news and media succed to make Algeria bad place to live in, Actualy Algeria is a nice country but with some conditions here , because of its specific culture , so i advice you to learn moor on web about Algerian culture , and about buisnes is a great open market for all, take china for example they are working and making succes here , the chinese faced a huge problems in the begning but now Algerians get used to them and they are apart from our society and many of Algerians are marring with chinese too .
so for studying here i advice you to聽 study in Central Unversity of Algiers because it is in the capital and its moor easy for foringer life believe me ^^ or one of the 5 big provinces here Oran Annaba Boumerdas Setif and Canstantine this is the official algerian ensignement website plz visite it mesrs.dz/ar/accueil

i am so sorry to reply too late but i am so new here and iam trying to help so plz anyone who need help about Algeria just message me it will be a pleasure of mine to help you ^^

hi;h

so of course you can attend courses at university but you must have at least聽 baccalaureate degree /diploma ,and as you聽 master English language ,you can ask for this field聽 as well as you can follow some french or Arabic courses in the same time in any private school since you are considered as foreign student聽 . and i do know聽 some foreign students here Korea,Chines ;and most of them are Africans students and there are a lot of programs as Erasmus聽 in order to聽 get a scholarship .and i advice you to ask for Bejaia university it's the best of all聽 good luck

My master thesis is about international students. and i wanted to interview some chinese students but they refused please i want you to tell me what are your push and pull factors(reasons) that made you choose to study arabic in algeria.and are the chinese students supposed to have a scholarship to study in algerian educational institutions.thank you and good luck
