Features
• No need to have prior knowledge of Arabic or Middle Eastern History to commence and enjoy the subject.
• The courses offer a wide range of Middle Eastern topics from several different disciplines in which St Andrews excels.
• As well as gaining a broad knowledge of the Middle East, students will also be able to specialise in one or more of the disciplines represented (e.g. History, Arabic literature, Middle East politics, Modern Languages) at Honours level.
• Students can begin the study of Arabic language without committing themselves for more than one year and choose how far they wish to continue year by year, up to Honours degree level.
• The courses offer depth of knowledge and understanding of a region of outstanding importance in world affairs.
When you graduate in Arabic and Middle East Studies you will have not only a broad knowledge of the Middle East, but also degree-level training in at least one of the major disciplines of Arabic, History, International Relations or Modern Languages. The courses cover the language, literature, history and politics of the Middle East. We also teach a wide range of disciplinary skills that will be of great use in studying and understanding this culturally diverse and strategically important region of the world. The topics covered include the mediaeval and modern history of the region, mediaeval and modern Arabic language and literature, and the present-day politics of the Middle East. When you graduate in Arabic as part of a joint degree programme, you will gain degree-level training in Arabic language and literature.
At St Andrews the main disciplines represented in Arabic are Arabic Language and Literature, Mediaeval History, Middle East Studies, Modern History, International Relations and Modern Languages. You normally take mainstream First- and Second- level modules in at least one of these disciplines. At Honours level you can choose from a wide range of Middle Eastern topics in one or more of your preferred disciplines. If your interest is mainly in Arabic language and literature you can concentrate on Arabic language-based studies. It is also possible to study for a semester or year in the Middle East as part of your degree.
