Oxford Biblical Hebrew Summer School 2020  – ONLINE

This year’s Oxford Biblical Hebrew Summer School, which will take place online (via Zoom) from 1 to 11 September 2020 inclusive

The school offers nine days of intensive teaching in biblical Hebrew.  Each weekday there will be three hours of teaching, delivered in two separate 90-minute sessions, between 10 am and 4 pm (UK time).

The OBHSS corresponds to two full terms of intensive teaching for a full-time university student.  It is open to students with or without experience in the language.   For the former, it offers an opportunity to review and consolidate what they have previously learnt.  For the latter, it will provide a strong foundation from which to begin formalized or private study of biblical Hebrew.

The deadline for application is 27 July, but early application is advisable.
