About this course

Arabic and classics is a combination that sets two of the world's greatest literary and intellectual traditions in dialogue. Arabic is by far the most widely spoken language of the Middle East, the language of the Quran and of a literary and philosophical tradition stretching back over fourteen centuries, and the lingua franca of more than four hundred million people across the Arab world.

At the University of St Andrews, you will develop proficiency in Arabic, including both classical and modern forms, alongside a deep engagement
