Not uncommonly students develop an interest in the Middle East and Central Asia  after they have graduated in another  discipline, and often after some time spent working abroad.  The postgraduate coursework programs in Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies are designed for students who have developed an interest in the subject, but who do not necessarily have much prior exposure to the region. They seek to harness and enhance students' existing skills and experience in a multidisciplinary environment, with a clear-cut regional focus. The  graduate certificate in Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies is an entry level graduate program aimed at students who wish to pursue graduate studies in the field, or gain a minimum-level graduate qualification.

Students will be guided on appropriate course selection to match their professional interests, or interest in pursuing one of the CAIS Master's programs.

Admission Requirements

Applicants should have obtained a three year Bachelor's degree from a recognised tertiary institution.  Recognition may be given to appropriate prior experience and learning.
