Arabic and Social Anthropology

About this course

Arabic and Social Anthropology is a combination that offers a particularly powerful way of engaging with the cultures, societies and thought of the Arabic-speaking world and beyond. Social anthropology is the comparative study of human societies and cultures, examining how people organise their social lives, how they create meaning and how kinship, religion, politics and economics are structured differently in different contexts. Arabic, as the language of the Middle East, North Africa and the broader Islamic world, opens access to one of the richest anthropological fields available, spanning ancient urban civilisations, nomadic societies, contemporary political movements and diverse religious traditions. At the University of St Andrews this four-year full-time joint Honours degree develops your linguistic competence in Arabic alongside your grounding in anthropological theory and field
