Mid East studies MA/MPhil (Fall 2022 enrollment)

[طال عمرك]

Hello all,

 

International with a non-US degree here, I'm applying to several places between the US and the UK for a Mid East degree: 

 

MPhil Modern Mid East Studies, Oxford

MA Modern History, LSE*

AM Mid East Studies, Harvard

MA Arab Studies, Georgetown

 

*LSE's new history degree would allow me a pick of modules that could craft an interdisciplinary degree and pad my CV for a PhD (also, the UK's new postgrad visa scheme is very enticing) 

 

Anyone have any impressions of the above programs? Anything I should add, or should know? Very keen on hearing from people in similar straits or, better yet, who have gone through Mid East studies postgrad. Should also add that I am: a native Arabic speaker; keen on learning Persian; and very much hope that this degree would position me for a PhD program down the line.
