The Study of Judaism and Christianity

The MLitt in The Study of Judaism and Christianity offers a unique opportunity to gain comparative and cross-cultural perspectives on these two religious traditions through a joint qualification from the University of St Andrews (MLitt in the Study of Judaism and Christianity) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel (MA in Comparative Religion with a specialization in the Study of Judaism and Christianity).

Highlights

- As members of two world-class universities in very different settings, you will immerse yourself in two unique and rich cultural, linguistic, and religious environments.

- The programme will introduce the comparative study of Judaism and Christianity and allow you to develop your own expertise through modules that cross a wide range of sub-disciplines.

- Language courses will equip you with the skills to study Jewish and Christian literature in the original languages, both ancient and modern (e.g. biblical and modern Hebrew, Koine Greek, Aramaic, Latin, German).

- The programme is taught by a group of internationally renowned experts in all major areas of the study of Judaism and Christianity from ancient Israel to the 21st century.

- The combination of rigorous intellectual training with extensive cross-cultural experience will prepare you to go on to PhD research or to enter a range of top-level graduate careers.
