Explore career opportunities for graduates in Islamic Studies and Middle Eastern Studies. Located at the crossroads between Europe, Africa and Asia, the Middle East has played a pivotal role on the world stage from ancient times. With increasing migration in response to changing global dynamics, there is high demand for our graduates both at home and abroad – you do not need to be based in the region to use your degree in a related career.Graduating with an understanding of the Middle East, and of the Islamic world, is an excellent primer for a range of roles in policy and public affairs, diplomacy and international relations, as well as in the media, non-government organisations, industry, commerce, and education. It is particularly useful that our programmes give you language learning opportunities in your pre-honours years.There are also opportunities to continue studying at postgraduate level, with Year 4 in particular developing the research skills you’ll need if you choose this path. Our options include a new one-year MSc in the Globalised Muslim World.Related linksAlumni and futuresThe Careers ServicePostgraduate study in IMES This article was published on 2024-08-13
