Iran and Central Asia

If you are curious, eager to explore a new culture, and interested in the East, we invite you to join our programme with a philological, historical, and cultural focus.

Iran today can only be understood through a cultural and historical lens. You will study not only modern Persian and Arabic, but also classical languages, as well as the history of the entire region from the Mediterranean coast to India.

The ability to analyse texts is an essential skill for Iran specialists, and this requires deep immersion in the spiritual culture of the region. For this reason, we teach the history of the religious systems and philosophical traditions of the Iranian world.
