Introduction
This award aims to increase the students’ linguistic abilities in order that they can engage with the Jewish corpus as well as further develop their exegetical and hermeneutical skills. In this year this process is deepened even further as students are challenged by ever more complex texts, both rabbinic and biblical.
An additional focus is a time spent examining the changing historical contexts which impacted on Jewish religious civilization, as well as the cross-fertilization which occurred between Muslim, Jewish and Christian theology. Finally, the degree focuses on the students’ understanding of the historical development of Jewish liturgy both historical and new, and encourages them to develop their own personal theology.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Hebrew and Jewish Studies will be awarded to students who have successfully completed 120 credits. There are 315 contact hours. It can be studied either full-time (one year) or part-time (two years).
This programme is quality assured by Middlesex University and you will receive a Middlesex award on successful completion.
