Study Middle Eastern and European Languages and Cultures at Trinity College Dublin

The MEELC undergraduate degree gives students a unique opportunity to study the history, cultures and one language of the Middle East (Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish) combined with a choice of a European language (French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Polish) and its history and culture.

The teaching on offer in this degree trains students to become critical thinkers and independent professionals who are well equipped - and not afraid - to tackle many of the challenges society faces today.

The programme is part of the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Studies in the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies.

The blend of languages, history and cultural studies make MEELC a varied and engaging degree. The small class sizes facilitate easy engagement with lecturers and the material. I'm delighted to be studying a degree that uniquely combines Middle Eastern and European studies as it yields a fresh perspective on world affairs.
