Programme Structure

Courses include:

You will be required to complete three terms of language study in the same language. You may choose to study either Modern Hebrew or Biblical Hebrew or Yiddish at elementary, intermediate or advanced level.

In addition, you will be required to select courses from a range of options each year and, depending on the track you choose, a dissertation .

Teaching for the options takes place during the first two terms of the academic year.

Most options are assessed by two pre-submitted essays to be handed in at the end of the vacation following the term in which they were taught, though for certain courses there is a three-hour examination at the end of the third term instead.

The language studied will also be assessed in a three hour examination at the end of Trinity term (summer term). Conferral of the degree requires that students pass all components of the course.
