Programme Structure
Common Courses:
- With all other Classics and Ancient Civilizations specialisations, the ResMA Assyriology shares two compulsory Common Courses. These courses are geared towards connecting the various disciplines and cross-fertilising work in your own specialisation.
- Students of all specialisations examine cultural phenomena that transcend their own discipline and engage in discussions with fellows from neighbouring fields.
- Since classes in the research master level always follow recent trends in research, specific topics presented in the Common Courses may change every year.
