Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: RQ14
Here's what University of Oxford says about its French and Hebrew course.
The European and Middle Eastern Languages (EMEL) course enables students to combine papers in one of the languages taught in the Faculty of Modern Languages with papers in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian or Turkish, providing opportunities to take advantage of the cultural links which exist between a number of European and Middle Eastern languages. For example, appropriate combinations might well be French and Arabic, German and Turkish, or Hebrew and Russian, but even some of the less obvious pairings would provide similar cultural and historical linkage. For example, Spanish and Turkish would be an interesting combination for the history of Sephardi Judaism, while Persian and Portuguese are important for the study of early colonial expansion. For more information on this course please visit ox.ac.uk/ugemel.

Support is available if you need it, although is not always the best. I have had mixed experiences, and had a particularly bad experience when seeking financial support/advice in which an advisor offered unfortunately completely out of touch advice. Other times, people have been extremely helpful.

Great facilities although the sports centre is a little far. The libraries here are the highlight to me.

The course had a good level of choice and was very indepth. I felt that the 4th year project was lacking, and would have preferred it be a more prominent part of the degree especially considering most people in this course are interested in further research after graduating. I don't feel particularl...

University of Oxford open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
