Career opportunities

A degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies equips you with a wide range of skills for a variety of careers, as well as deep linguistic, theological and cultural understanding of one of the world’s most influential faith traditions and a region of global significance.

Your knowledge and skills could lead to a career in media (television, radio, online and print); education; non-governmental organisations; business and commerce; translation and interpreting; Civil Service; FCO; local government; law and Islamic banking and finance.

Our graduates have gone on to CELTA courses which have led to teaching posts in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and other parts of the Gulf, with both universities and language institutes.

Increasingly, graduates with specialist knowledge of Islam, Muslim communities, Islamic law, theology and contemporary trends in Islamic thought are being sought by policy institutes and think-tanks, international development organisations and the Ministry of Defence.

Others continue to postgraduate study, either at Leeds or elsewhere, to develop translation skills or further explore topics in Islamic and Middle Eastern studies, which can lead to PhD study and a career in academia.

We are committed to helping you achieve your career ambitions. The School of Languages, Cultures and Societies careers and employability support includes promoting internships, providing opportunities to work for the School and employer-led workshops and events.
