The programme of study in Middle Eastern and Asian Languages and Cultures (Hebrew) will broaden your Hebrew literary and linguistic horizons, while also focusing on the archaeological, historical and religious facets of their unique culture, ranging from Classical Hebrew to functional and modern Hebrew. By instilling a deeper understanding of the history, society and culture of the Hebrew world, you will become more knowledgeable and appreciative of their traditional literature and language. We also encourage you to participate in our Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more holistic and multicultural academic experience.

By studying sociology, you will become knowledgeable on the cohesive and important structures of society and its organisations. You will have a heightened and refined awareness on topics ranging from economic and environmental sociology, to sociology of sport, law and religion. We will also encourage you to participate in an Erasmus+ mobility programme for a multicultural and diverse academic journey.
