Undergraduate Arabic, Islamic, Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Our undergraduate courses provide intensive teaching of the Arabic language, as well as degrees focusing on Islamic and Middle Eastern studies.

Throughout your degree you’ll be able to specialise in the areas you find most interesting, from Arab culture, cinema, theatre, religion, drama, societies, media, politics and law.

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).

Our practical language modules will teach you to speak and write fluently, whilst your year abroad in an Arabic-speaking country gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself within a new culture — allowing you to develop valuable personal and professional skills.

The University's Language Zone has a range of resources, including text, audio and video resources, and provides additional opportunities to practice your language skills through workshops, language exchanges and language groups.
