Arabic and Linguistics | Bachelor's degree | Languages | On Campus | 4 years | University of Leeds | United Kingdom

Arabic is a vital language for understanding societies in the Middle East and the Islamic world. If you've never studied the language before, this degree will allow you to learn the language from scratch while gaining an insight into Islamic thought, Arabic culture and Middle Eastern History. A combination of core and optional modules will give you a firm grounding in the language and Arab and Islamic History while you study the topics that suit your interests. Linguistics explores how language works: how it is structured, interpreted and used. This degree will allow you to develop an understanding of human communication using approaches from the arts and sciences that will equip you with a variety of skills. Core and optional modules will allow you to explore topics such as language acquisition, syntax, language change and death as well as phonetics - the study of how speech sounds are physically produced.
