About this course

Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Cambridge allows you to engage with some of the world's oldest and most influential civilisations. The discipline encompasses the languages, literatures, histories, and cultures of a vast and diverse region, from Arabic and Persian to Turkish, Hebrew, and the languages of South and East Asia. Studying these traditions in depth requires learning the relevant languages, engaging with original texts across literary, historical, religious, and philosophical genres, and understanding the historical and contemporary contexts in which those traditions have developed. This four-year full-time programme gives you the opportunity to explore contemporary global cultures through sustained study of language, culture, and history. Cambridge's Oriental Faculty brings together specialists in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Ottoman, Hebrew, and South and East Asian studies,
