Applicants wishing to join the part-time mode must submit their application as full-time, and then include a note in the comments box of the application form, denoting their preference to be considered for the part-time option. Such requests will be considered by the Board of the Faculty.
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.

In the programme of study in Social Studies, we provide you with a transdisciplinary holistic approach towards the field and its means of integration in the modern world we inhabit. By taking a local and international perspective, you will learn about the interrelating and causal relationship between geography, history, political and social science and the humanities in our society. You will be integrated in a broad spectrum of fields and will acquire knowledge on areas ranging from bioethics and warfare to anthropology of migration and cultural criticism. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a more diverse and multicultural learning experience.
Communication and Academic Skills Programme
