Some of the lectures you wonder what you’ve gotten yourself into (I.e a random lecture about how to use the library a month after we’ve been at uni), other then that I’m loving the course so far!! read more

The Arabic department is very small and very close-knit, so you tend to get to know everyone else in your year very well. You learn at a much slower pace than you would with a romance language but, in the end, you'll come out with a solid knowledge of the language. IR is full of professors who have published numerous books and articles in their specific fields. Everyone in the department is very accomplished and, from my experience, they're very helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have. There's a reason we're #1 in the UK! read more
