Our courses in Middle Eastern Studies and East Asian studies are about much more than learning a language, although that's an important part of what we do.
Educational Aims of the Programme
- to provide teaching to undergraduate students in a number of the languages and cultures (across a wide range of disciplines) of East Asia and the Middle East as they have developed through history to the present.
- to introduce students to current developments in scholarship and research relating to these topics.
- to provide a stimulating, inherently multi-disciplinary environment in which students can realise their intellectual potential.
- to give students access to a broad range of methodological approaches in the humanities and to enable them to develop sensitivity to the similarities and dissimilarities between other cultures and societies and their own.
- to help students develop a range of cognitive, practical, interpersonal and cross-cultural skills and abilities which will enable them to make a significant contribution in their chosen careers and walks of life, including training in academic research.
