Our doctoral program in Middle Eastern Studies empowers you to conduct groundbreaking original research guided by our expert faculty. The Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies department at Manchester provides extensive research possibilities and advanced education covering the history, politics, gender studies, literature, religions, and cultures of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Leading scholars who produce internationally recognized publications deliver instruction and research guidance across most major cultures and historical periods of the MENA region. We frequently host academic events like seminars, workshops, and conferences, along with specialized training programs. Additionally, the Centre for Jewish Studies (CJS) serves as another key research hub, uniting specialists from various University departments and a vibrant community of graduate students exploring diverse aspects of Jewish heritage and contemporary Israeli/Palestinian society.
