Middle Eastern Studies in Cambridge

[Shahnama]

Hi there.

It is quite interesting most topic in the forum are concerned with the current conditions of Middle Eastern Studies in America. but is anyone familiar with the same field in Europe, especially the UK? I am very interested in the MPhil course of Middle Eastern Studies in the University of Cambridge for it is among the few programs in UK that can provide expertise in the history of Mongol and Safavid Persia, which is what I want to do in the future.

However I still know little about this program and the department, so any information or advices will be highly appreciated.
