Gain expertise, develop your knowledge of Hebrew and prepare for a future career in research or across multiple industries through this degree. Taught from the only Hebrew and Jewish Studies department in the UK, the Jewish Studies MA at UCL enables you to choose from a selection of modules that cover all areas, periods and aspects of Jewish studies. You’ll graduate with skills ideal for academic careers or professional roles in education, the media and more.
All students are introduced to the disciplines, theories, methods, and practice of learning and research in Jewish Studies, and those without prior knowledge of Hebrew learn the language at elementary level. An extensive range of optional modules are available in Jewish history, literature, languages, and Jewish thought, from antiquity to the modern world.
One year’s university-level study or equivalent of either Hebrew (Modern or Biblical) or Yiddish is required. Incoming MA students’ language skills will be assessed in a short placement test during induction week. Students without prior Hebrew or Yiddish language knowledge will be obliged to take one 30-credit module in Hebrew (Modern or Biblical) or Yiddish as part of the MA programme.
