Students take 120 credits in each of the three years of
this degree. Of these, only the first level core course (40 credits) and
the third level General Paper (10 credits) and 30-credit dissertation (the
topic of which may be within Jewish Studies) are compulsory.
The following Jewish Studies courses may be taken as options
(List A without restriction), List B subject to a maximum of 40 credits
in each year), subject to any linguistic or other prerequisites required
for individual courses.
Click here for short descriptions of the individual courses
which comprise the different programmes. Individual courses are reviewed
year by year, and not all courses run every year. Some courses have prerequisites
(see the relevant Departmental Handbook). Some are designed to alternate
with others on a two year cycle (indicated by "alt", in the lists
below). A number of new courses (indicated by ·) are currently going
through course approval procedures. There are plans further to supplement
the list, particularly in the areas of Modern Jewish History and Modern
Hebrew Literature, as from 2001/2002, provided that resources permit.
