This certificate is essentially equivalent to the first year of the School’s four-year BA degree in Arabic. Students acquire a solid initial knowledge of the written language and some with the spoken, and familiarise themselves with aspects of Middle Eastern history and culture. No prior knowledge of Arabic is required.

Introduction to Arabic culture
Literatures of the Near and Middle East
Music of the Middle East and North Africa
Art and material culture of the Islamic world
Mosaics, manuscripts and wall-paintings in Islamic art
Introduction to the history of the Near and Middle East
* Please note that not every unit may be available every year.
