Course Description
The Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) course explores contemporary global cultures through the in-depth study of languages, culture and history, giving you knowledge and practical skills that can be used in many careers.
You don't have to have studied an AMES subject at school, so the best preparation is for you to explore for yourself what interests you about the language and culture you choose to study. You can choose from Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. Arabic, Hebrew and Persian can be combined with each other or with a modern European language.
