Summary
Political discourse and social science studies on the teaching of Arabic in France generally focus on primary and secondary education, approaching the issue from a migratory angle. But what about teaching the language in higher education? France has a long-standing academic tradition, which has contributed to the training of many "Arabists". So what are the profiles and career paths of these individuals with a university-level command of the Arabic language? This dissertation, based on a survey carried out at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, aims to shed light on the rationale behind the career paths of students in the institution's "Arabic Studies" department. The aim is to study their trajectories in relation to their social background, and their academic and professional orientation.
