Egyptology is the study of ancient Egyptian civilisation in all of its aspects. The time span covered comprises approximately 5,500 years, beginning in prehistory in the fifth millennium B.C.E. and ending with the Arab conquest of Egypt in 641 C.E. The geographical region to be examined consists of the Lower Nile Valley and its neighbouring regions.
The Bachelor’s degree programme as a major subject provides the foundation for developing linguistic and subject-specific competency in understanding the scripts, language, and culture of ancient Egypt. Students will learn the hieroglyphic script and the Middle Egyptian language and will gain insight into the culture, history, archaeology, and art of ancient Egypt. Language skills will be expanded during the second half of the degree programme through instruction in the hieratic script and the Late Egyptian language level.
