Course Summary

Our PhD Middle Eastern Studies programme enables you to carry out a piece of significant, original research under the supervision of our academics. Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies at Manchester offers wide-ranging opportunities for research and advanced training in the history, politics, gender studies, literatures, religious traditions and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Training and research supervision in most major cultures and periods of the MENA region are delivered by experts whose publications contribute to their subject on an international level. We regularly organise seminars, workshops and conferences, and offer some specialist training opportunities. Another major research centre, the Centre for Jewish Studies (CJS), brings together a wide range of specialists from across the University, and a large and active body of graduate students working on various aspects of Jewish culture and history, including modern Israeli/Palestinian society.
