Location

Exeter (Streatham Campus)

Arabic may also be studied with a Modern Language (French, German, Italian, Russian or Spanish) or Politics. No previous knowledge of Arabic is required. We offer four-year programmes, which include a Study Year in an Arab country and three-year programmes. The Arabic language component in these programmes follows the pattern of the BA in Arabic described above. For details of the second subject, please see the relevant subject entry.

Study abroad

All Arabic language students on a four-year programme spend the second year of their programme at one of our accredited Arabic language study centres – details of these can be found on our website. Students on our programme in Arabic and Persian spend half the year at one of these centres and the other half at the University of Shiraz (Iran). Current events in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as our constant quality check measures, may determine whether all venues are available at any one time.

You will live in accommodation within the local community and have opportunities to travel. Our students speak very enthusiastically about their time abroad. They return to Exeter with increased fluency in Arabic and an invaluable cultural appreciation of the region.
