MA/MS in Applied Arabic Studies

The Applied Arabic Studies master's programme is taught by the Arabic chair within the Faculty of Oriental Studies. Students gain general, professional and specialised knowledge and practical skills for the labour market. Admission is competitive for bachelor's holders in Oriental Studies. Graduates in other fields first pass the exam matching their own bachelor's state programme, and foreign graduates are admitted through an interview based on professional opinion. The master's programme is run by the Faculty of Oriental Studies and lasts longer than a typical one-year degree. A questionnaire for the entrance examination is published in the admissions section, and foreign applicants face a different route from local ones. The programme prepares students for professional work with the Arabic language and the region, building on skills from earlier oriental studies. Candidates from other bachelor's specialities must show readiness by passing a relevant exam before competing for a place.
