Master
Curriculum
The consecutive master´s degree pro-gram conveys knowledge on the current state of research in Semitic Studies and deepens the knowledge of languages, cul-tures and history of societies in the Middle East acquired in the bachelor’s program. The master program is charac-terized by a range of studies on modern Semitic languages (esp. Arabic dialects, Neo-Aramaic and Hebrew) and their rela-tion to religious minorities, in particular the Christians of the Middle East.
Students will acquire comparative linguis-tic skills while working with different types of literary and oral samples of languages (including sacred texts, modern dialects and inscriptions). In addition, students are offered the possibility to study further classical Semitic languages such as Syriac, Arabic, Geez, Amharic, Phoenician and Mandaic.
An inter-/transdisciplinary area allows students to choose courses from neigh-boring fields.
