Main research activities
Our courses in Jewish studies are designed to appeal to applicants from diverse backgrounds and with different interests, ranging from the Hebrew Bible to modern Israel, from developments within Judaism in the time of Jesus to the history of Jews under Islam or in modern Europe, from the Dead Sea Scrolls to modern Hebrew poetry. A degree in Jewish Studies involves a multi-disciplinary approach to the critical study of the history, languages, religion, literature and culture of the Jews from ancient to modern times. Students are encouraged to examine Jewish societies, texts, ideologies and institutions both on their own terms and in relation to surrounding societies and cultures.
There is a Jewish Studies library
