Arabic has been taught in various forms at St Andrews for several centuries and the Department has an excellent record of academic scholarship in Islamic studies, Arab and wider Middle Eastern history and mediaeval and modern Arabic literatures.

The Persian Department focuses on Modern Persian language, literature, drama, song, visual culture and cinema, but students are also introduced to classical literary texts.
