The University of Delhi offers Ph.D. in Arabic course to its students.

The Department of Arabic thus passed through three phases. At first it was working under the umbrella of Department of Arabic, Persian,and Urdu. At the second stage the Department of Urdu became independent and the Department of Arabic and Persian remained combined. Afterwards the Department of Arabic got independent in the late sixties.

The Department of Arabic is one of the oldest departments in the University dating back to 1922, the year of the inception of Delhi University. However, the department was not an independent until the late sixties when it got an independent entity. At first, the classes used to be held at St. Stephen College, a constituent college of the University of Delhi. To begin with, the renowned erudite personalities such as Shamsul Ulama Maulana Abdur Rahman and Maulana Saeed Ahmad Akberabadi rendered their services for the department. In the late fifties the department of Arabic with its sister departments- the Department of Persian and Urdu- was shifted to the well-known Arts Faculty Building.
