Arabic and Theology & Religious Studies | 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. Theology focuses on the beliefs and ideas of one religious tradition. Religious Studies looks at different religions and faith communities. Both subjects think about how religions shape and are shaped by wider society. At Leeds you'll be able to explore the role and development of religious belief and practice from both perspectives. Core and optional modules will allow you to explore all the major world religions, what they have meant to people over time and how they are evolving today.
