The wide range of options and supervisory possibilities for the MA dissertations will allow you to pursue your own interests in the multitude of fields related to Islamic Studies.
This programme introduces the study of Islam as a religious, intellectual and cultural tradition, both in historical and contemporary contexts. As well as a broad overview of key areas of Islamic thought and major intellectual, written traditions you will also be offered a fundamental intellectual and scholarly depth to the study of these arenas. You will develop an appreciation of the diversity of Muslim Cultures, practices, rituals and societies in different geographical, cultural and political contexts.
The MA in Islamic Studies will appeal to graduates with no prior knowledge of Islam, but with some knowledge of one or more other world religions, as well as those who would like to deepen their knowledge in the subject. Programmes within the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies are based on the latest cutting-edge research and as a result progress quickly, closing the gap between the two groups of graduates.
