We teach in an integrated interdisciplinary way, exploring the connections between language and culture and the broader historical and cross-cultural contexts in which they are produced. <br/><br/>We place particular emphasis on employability and the contemporary cultural context, and offer high-quality teaching in all language skills.<br/><br/>The linguistics component of your combined degree will develop your understanding and knowledge of language to an advanced and sophisticated level, while fostering and enhancing your skills in using English.<br/><br/>Between Years 2 and 3, youll have the opportunity to spend a full academic year abroad at one of our partner institutions, or undertake an approved form of employment in a country where Arabic is the official language. You may work as a paid language assistant in a foreign school or undertake a work (or volunteering) placement, both of which give you a valuable opportunity to boost your employability while improving your language competence. <br/><br/>Our Arabic courses are only available to beginners or false beginners – you may be a false beginner if youre able to read the Arabic script, and/or have the equivalent to one or two years part-time study. Please note that we may need to test you to decide your entry point.
