Offers courses in Jewish Studies
Main research activities
The undergraduate degrees (BA and B.A. (Hons)) in Near Eastern Studies are based on a core component of Arabic and North-West Semitic (for example, Classical Hebrew, Phoenician, and Punic) together with archaeology and general cultural courses on the Near East (mainly the Ancient Near East), and the Islamic world. The language courses in these degree programmes are shared mainly between Arabic and Hebrew: the former will be largely Modern Standard Arabic, whereas the latter will be mainly Classical Hebrew.
