Arabic

About this course

Arabic is one of the world's great languages, spoken by more than 400 million people across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond, and the vehicle of a literary and intellectual tradition stretching back over a millennium and a half. It is the language of the Quran and of classical Islamic scholarship, and it is also a modern language with distinct spoken dialects that vary considerably across different countries and regions. Studying Arabic gives you access to a vast and rich culture, a geopolitically vital region, and a set of linguistic skills that are in high demand in diplomacy, journalism, business, and international organisations. At SOAS, the UK's only university dedicated to the study of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, this four-year full-time programme begins with a foundation year that provides additional preparation for students who need it.
