The course provides an innovative and distinctive programme of study on Islam and Muslims, taking an approach which is post-orientalist, post-traditionalist, multicultural, and interdisciplinary. The programme includes courses on core texts and sources of Islam, along with examination of Muslim cultures, societies, and civilisations and the changes affecting the Muslim world in terms of politics, economics, society and particular global and local issues. The programme may be taken either as an end in itself or as an appropriate preparation for postgraduate research.
