Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies
Postgraduate Coursework 2008 Overview
| |
|
Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies centres on a number of major areas: the Classical Hebrew language of the Old Testament of the Bible, Bible studies, Modern Hebrew, Yiddish language and literature, and Jewish civilisation, thought and culture. Units of study encompass language and literature (focusing on Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, and Yiddish) as well as Hebrew and Judaic history and culture. Students can explore both historic and contemporary issues, such as the Arab-Israeli conflict and the relationship of Osama bin Laden to modern Israel.

Pathways are a strategy for organising a program of study directed towards a specific area of interest or future employment.
Students can choose to specialise in either the Classical or Modern period, in which case they must complete a minimum of two units in their specialty, and their dissertation (Master of Arts candidates only) also must be in their area of specialty.
