Within the Jagiellonian University we are a part of the Philological Faculty, which specifies the kind of studies. Philology is ‘love for words’, i.e. languages - spoken and written in literatures. Language is a key to culture. Oriental studies, through oriental languages, educate specialists in languages and literatures of the Orient. Philological education is accompanied by bringing closer philosophy, culture and art., everyday life, the political and economic problems of oriental countries.

The Institute consists of five departments: Arabic, Indian, Iranian, Japanese and Turkish, a library with over 40 000 volumes, an Oriental Sources and Numismatics section, language lab and computer room (donated by the Japanese government).

Classical and contemporary Arabic literature, history and culture of the Arabs, comparative grammar of Semito-Hamitic languages, Arabic grammar.

Modern standard Arabic, dialects: Egyptian and Syro-Palestinian, grammar of Arabic and of additional Semitic language, classical and contemporary Arabic literature, history and culture of the Arabs, basics of Islam.
