Duration
4 Years
Arabic is one of the world’s major languages, and this degree will allow you to become proficient while you build your understanding of the cultural and historical contexts that have shaped the Middle East.
You’ll benefit from a firm grounding in spoken and written Arabic – which you’ll strengthen by spending a year in Morocco – while gaining insight into the cultural, social and political issues that have shaped the Middle East. You could even learn Persian or Turkish. At the same time, you will build critical, analytical and advanced communication skills that are popular with employers.
We combine core and optional modules to give you a firm foundation in language study while allowing you to shape your degree to suit your interests. There are also plenty of resources to help you get the best from your studies, from our manuscript archives to our Interpreter Training Suites. Leeds provides everything you need to build a real understanding of Arabic and the cultures that have shaped it.
