The Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at Exeter is one of the most important centres of Arab, Middle East and Islamic Studies in the UK. We enjoy an international profile for our pioneering regional focus on the Gulf and Arabian Peninsula and expertise in Islamic Studies. The Institute holds the annual Gulf Conference and a seminar and lecture series featuring distinguished scholars and public figures from the Islamic world and the West. Our first class facilities provide the perfect setting in which to study your postgraduate degree: our impressive building is the best purpose-built Middle East centre in the UK and is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.
The Professors are simply an amazing source of knowledge and I cannot think of any place where I can find this level of expertise.
