View pages in this documentOur degree programmes provide intensive teaching of the Arabic language as well as courses on Middle Eastern history and Islamic thought and culture.
We teach Modern Standard Arabic, which is the official written language used throughout the Arab World in virtually all formal circumstances (religious, political, commercial, literary, media, etc.).
Students have the opportunity to study Arabic, Arab Cinema, the culture and politics of the Middle East, Modern history and Politics of the region and the Qur'an and Hadith. We also lay emphasis on practical language skills, therefore students are taught to speak as well as write in Arabic.
An important element of our language degrees is the second year which is spent at a language centre in an Arabic speaking country.
