Annotation of the Higher Education Institution
In the Master's degree programme in Semitic Studies and Ancient Near Eastern Philology, you will deepen your specialist knowledge of Ancient Near Eastern and/or Semitic Studies. Here you will acquire philological, linguistic and cultural studies content and methods, deepen your knowledge of (ancient) oriental languages and benefit from the opportunity to set your own priorities: You can place a clear emphasis on Semitic Studies or on Ancient Near Eastern Studies, or you can benefit from both disciplines and put together your own combination of Semitic and Ancient Near Eastern content.
Marburg's Ancient Oriental Studies (also known as Assyriology) researches above all the traditional texts of the Babylonian-Assyrian scholarly world, with a focus on Ancient Oriental magic, omens and science. In its teaching, Ancient Oriental Studies pursues the concept of the broadest possible education, with the emphasis on the study of Akkadian and Sumerian and the learning of cuneiform script. In the Master SeAor in particular, the ability to read cuneiform texts from the original or from a photograph is taught in addition to deepening language skills.
Semitic studies in Marburg has a clear focus on the classical West Semitic languages. In teaching, it aims at a deeper understanding of linguistic and textual methodology. These are applied to both handwritten and epigraphically handed down text corpora, with a particular focus on Classical Arabic, Old South Arabic and Ethiopian. - Course Website
