HONOURS PRE-ADVISING FOR 2016/17






All 2nd Level students intending Arabic Honours will have to attend an interview with the Honours Adviser in week 10 or 11.

Please sign up for your slot as soon as you are notified by email.
*****
AR3401-AR3402 and AR4401-AR4402 are the core M.A. Junior and Senior Honours language modules. All four are compulsory, but the requirement for AR3401 and/or AR3402 may be waived, normally only for students taking a semester or the whole of their Junior Honours year abroad on a University placement, or, exceptionally, for three-subject degrees.
The lists below show you when we hope to teach our modules. It is important for you to refer to this table when planning a properly balanced two-year programme. Please note that we do not allow more than 18 students in our Honours optional modules.
The programme is subject to availability of staff, and still provisional. See the on-line Course Catalogue for full course titles, descriptors, prerequisites, etc. New modules will appear in due course in the on-line Course Catalogue.

Lecturers’ initials follow the module title.

All Arabic WIYA options are currently suspended. Students who take Arabic and another other language can still opt for the WIYA degree option in their other language.

Dissertations

AR4999 involves a dissertation of approximately 10,000 words on an approved topic in Arabic and Middle East Studies.

Dissertation topics and timing are subject to approval by the Head of Department who should be approached at the earliest opportunity, ideally by the end of the student’s Junior Honours year.

Please bear in mind that the HoD will need to find an appropriate supervisor for your dissertation. The following list will help identify who that might be:


Staff areas of interest:

Ms Catherine Cobham (HoD): Modern Arabic Literature, Arabic into English Translation.

Dr Fabio Caiani: Modern Arabic Literature, Language.

Dr Orhan Elmaz: Arabic linguistics and lexicography, more specifically Early Arabic and Qur’anic Studies, and Digital Humanities.
