The degree programme in Jewish Studies considers the Jewish religion, history and culture from the Antique period to the present day. Building on good language skills, the academic course covers different subdisciplines to offer students a methodical and comprehensive degree programme.
The consecutive Master’s degree programme with Jewish Studies as a major subject, is intended for students who have successfully completed a Bachelor’s degree programme in Jewish Studies, and who wish to further develop their specialist knowledge in this field.
Graduates of the Master’s degree programme are able to critically reflect on the cultural foundations of society and the Jewish population. They are able to understand, clearly present and analyse data to offer a comprehensive picture of the lived Jewish experience in Germany, Europe and the world, both in the past and in the present day. Students of the Master’s degree programme benefit from the research conducted at the Heidelberg Center for Jewish Studies and have a much greater degree of flexibility than they had during the Bachelor’s degree programme to develop their own area of specialisation.
Students work increasingly independently, applying the principles of academic practice to their work. This culminates in completion of the Master’s thesis.
Graduates of the Master’s degree programme in Jewish Studies (major subject) may pursue doctoral study in the field of Jewish Studies.
The degree programme is non-denominational.
Jewish Studies may also be taken as a minor subject worth 20 credits, as part of another Master’s degree programme studied at Heidelberg University. In this instance, students will not be required to have prior knowledge of Jewish Studies.
It is mandatory to choose a minor subject in combination with this Master programme. For further information please refer to the Examination Rules and Regulations.
