Bamberg and the Arab World
The master’s degree programme in Arabic Studies is focused on imparting expert knowledge of Arabic language, literature and culture, from pre-Islamic times to the present.
In Bamberg, you will acquire the skills necessary to analyse, interpret and contextually classify both classical and modern Arabic texts. The programme places particular emphasis on the analysis of varying literary genres ranging from poetry and artistic prose to historical texts, and on to academic encyclopaedias and modern, cross-media forms of expression.
The programme’s close ties to further fields in Middle Eastern Studies, as well as its excellent cooperation with the University of Bamberg’s other philological and cultural studies disciplines, all ensure comparative perspectives and provide students with the opportunity to individually define areas of specialisation within the curriculum.
