The master's programme Cultural Studies of the Middle East is an interdisciplinary two-year programme offered in English and German, jointly hosted by the Universities of Bamberg and Erlangen-Nuremberg, and sponsored by the Elitenetzwerk Bayern.
Our modularized programme is focused on diversity and historical change in the cultures and languages of the Middle East. It offers highly motivated students a new and challenging approach to a diverse range of subject matters, transcending common language frontiers and single-discipline perspectives.

Students will encounter demanding theoretical concepts and conduct research on a highly advanced academic level. Over the course of their studies, students will be offered opportunities to enhance their language skills, collaborate in interdisciplinary seminars, benefit from the expertise of internationally renowned visiting scholars, and even organize workshops that cross multiple disciplines.
