Description
This certificate is an introductory qualification in Hebrew and Israeli Studies. When taken full time over one year, the programme corresponds roughly to the first year of BA Hebrew and Israeli Studies, but with more freedom of choice.
Full-time students choose 4 units from the following:
- Intensive Modern Hebrew (2 units) OR Elementary Hebrew (a less intensive introduction to language)
- Introduction to Israeli culture
- History of Zionism
- Literatures of the Near and Middle East
For students with good prior knowledge of Modern Hebrew other combinations are possible, allowing the study of language and literature at a more advanced level.
Part-time students specialise more particularly in Modern Hebrew language and literature, for example, Intensive Modern Hebrew (2 units) in Year 1 and Intermediate Modern Hebrew and Introduction to Israeli Literature in Year 2 or Years 2 and 3.
