About Arabic and Business, MA - at The University of Edinburgh Business School

Arabic is the main language of more than 250 million people inhabiting a huge swathe of land extending from the Atlantic to the Persian Gulf. It is the fifth most widely spoken language in the world and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Given the central importance of the Arab world in global commerce and industry, and its importance as the immediate neighbour of Europe on the southern and eastern sides of the Mediterranean, Arabic and Business make an excellent combination.

The School of Literatures, Languages & Cultures at the University of Edinburgh is recognised in the UK and internationally as a leading institution for the research-led study of Arabic, together with Persian, Islam, and the Middle East.

The University's Business programmes are highly sought-after and accredited by a wide range of leading business education organisations and professional bodies. Leading graduate employers are involved across the curriculum.

Our Arabic and Business programme is designed to give you a thorough grounding in both classical and modern Arabic, alongside knowledge of the Arabic-speaking world, past and present. A year spent studying Arabic abroad provides complete immersion in Arabic language and culture.
