China has emerged as a major player in the Asia-Pacific region and the world. New Zealand looks increasingly towards the Chinese-speaking world in overseas relations and trade. New Zealand is a multicultural society and home to a substantial number of ethnic Chinese, for whom Chinese is their first language.

By focusing on skills in oral and written Chinese, you can take language papers from beginner to advanced levels. Alongside the language papers are a variety of cultural papers which examine topics such as Chinese history, society, and film. Cultural papers do not require any knowledge of the Chinese language.

Students can study Chinese in combination with other disciplines relevant to New Zealand's relations with the Chinese-speaking world, such as business or social work.

Speakers of Chinese dialects are welcome to enrol in the programme for serious study of Modern Standard Chinese. Native speakers of Chinese intending to major or minor in Chinese must consult the Programme Coordinator before enrolling to discuss the appropriate selection of language papers for the major or minor.

CSU's Master of Arts (Classical Arabic) enables students to develop proficiency in reading, writing and speaking Arabic so they can understand the Qur'an in its original Arabic language, and enhance other Islamic studies.

Why study this course?

The Master of Arts (Classical Arabic) at CSU was developed in response to demand from students and the Islamic community for a dedicated program of study focusing on developing skills in reading, writing and speaking the Arabic language in addition to analysing classical Arabic Islamic text.

The Classical Arabic program aims to enable students to read and recite the Qur'an in its original Arabic using recitation rules, study Arabic grammar and textual structures so they can access and understand classical primary Islamic texts, provide exposure to Arabic terminology in core Islamic disciplines, and develop a proficiency in modern standard Arabic so students can access contemporary Islamic scholarly discourse.

You will study core subjects focusing on different aspects of Arabic language, including one subject offering the opportunity to study at a respected Arabic university. You can also select an elective enabling you to focus on Arabic language and Qur'an reading, or Arabic language and Tajweed (Qur'an recitation).

Entry Requirements

Applicants to the Graduate Certificate in Arts (Classical Arabic), Graduate Diploma of Arts (Classical Arabic) or Master of Arts (Classical Arabic) should hold a bachelor degree in any discipline.

Applicants without an undergraduate degree may be admitted at the discretion of the Course Coordinator.

Knowledge of the Classical World of ancient Greece and Rome is essential if we are to appreciate our own culture and civilisation. The Greeks and Romans had a profound and lasting influence on language and thought, particularly in philosophy, law, politics, art, and architecture. They also created and developed nearly every genre of literature. We are, in the deepest sense, their descendants.

University study of the literature, history, art, and society of the ancient world involves the critical examination of important questions that arise from this heritage. We investigate the way the ancient world reacted to intellectual and physical challenges. Today, many issues first raised in the classical world remain unresolved.

You can structure your major or minor to suit your interests. Study the classics using a Greek or Roman perspective, or combine both to gain a general overview of the classical world. The classical world can be studied from many perspectives: philosophy (some of the greatest philosophers came from this period), Greek or Roman history, mythology, war, religion, art and society, even love and sexuality.
