Course summary
Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (AMES) at Cambridge allows you to explore contemporary global cultures. You'll study language, culture and history in depth. You don't have to have studied an AMES subject at school, so the best preparation is for you to explore for yourself what interests you about the language and culture you choose to study. You can choose from Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. Arabic, Hebrew and Persian can be combined with each other or with a modern European language.
