Admission requirements
A first certificate of academic degree (e.g. Bachelor’s degree) amounting to at least 180 credit points (ECTS). Of these, at least 60 ECTS must have been acquired in courses on topics relevant to the study of the history and societies of the Islamic world.
Proof of Arabic language proficiency may also be provided in other ways, e.g. by demonstrating that the applicant has completed secondary or university education in an Arabic-speaking country. In this case, the required 60 ECTS must have been earned in courses that focus on other (i.e. non-linguistic) topics relevant to the study of the history and societies of the Islamic world.
