The Centre for Arab & Islamic Studies offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs that enable you to specialise in the study of the Middle East and Central Asia. Our programs include coursework subjects covering the politics, international relations, social and cultural dynamics of the Middle East and Central Asia as well as the politics and debates of modern Islam.
CAIS offers three languages:  Arabic, Persian and Turkish.

You are invited to hear from our alumni, representatives from government departments, embassies, ANU Internships and academic staff about the opportunities that arise from specialising in Middle East and Central Asian Studies.
CAIS alumni will demonstrate how these programs have advanced their careers and share their experiences and tips on work and travel in the Middle East & Central Asia.
