Near and Middle East · Language and area studies
The main emphasis of the programme is on the modern period through the courses in history, geography, politics, economics and anthropology; some exposure is provided, however, to the pre-modern culture and society of the area through courses in religious studies, Islamic art and archaeology, and history. Courses based on Arabic are offered for those with an adequate knowledge of the language, while courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Turkish are available for those who wish to acquire or develop skills in these languages.
