In onze eenjarige masteropleiding Hebrew and Aramaic Languages and Culture bestudeer je niet alleen klassiek Hebreeuws en de diverse Aramese talen in hun 3000-jaar oude geschiedenis, maar heb je ook de mogelijkheid cursussen te volgen in de modern Hebreeuwse taal en literatuur en de huidige Israëlische maatschappij. Ook is het mogelijk je te verdiepen in verschillende Aramese talen en culturen, zoals Syrisch, Targumisch Aramees en Rijksaramees. Het departement Hebreeuws en Aramees van Universiteit Leiden is het enige departement ter wereld dat beide talen aanbiedt.
Our aim is to ensure that you will acquire a broad overview of Hebrew and Aramaic, as well as a thorough knowledge of your chosen field of focus. You will also have acquired the following main skills:
- Thorough analytical training
- Linguistic expertise
- Creative thinking on demanding, yet non-mainstream topics
- The patience necessary to carry out independent work successfully
- The ability to find your way through—and to assess the quality of—primary sources and secondary literature in various modern languages
- The skill to present the results of your research spoken and written, thereby marshalling clear, substantiated arguments
- Experience in setting up and executing a research project under expert supervision
- Expert knowledge on various Aramaic languages, against the background of their 3000-year history. Subjects range from the historical grammar of Aramaic, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, to Semitic epigraphy and Aramaic in the Roman Near East.
