Armenian Studies Program
History of the Program
In recent years, the department of Armenian
Studies has entered a period of unprecedented and dynamic growth. Ever closer relationships with the Republic of Armenia and its academic institutions have been one factor. A new agreement between the Armenian Patriarchate and the University encourages recently ordained clergy to continue their education at the Hebrew University and is a fine example of cooperation between Israeli institutions and the Christian communities. The number of students increases each year.
Growing Demand
The Hebrew University has striven to respond to this growing demand. The program has been enriched and now a range of courses is offered, reflecting the wealth and variety of Armenian history, language and culture.
The Institute
Armenian Studies form a part of the Department of Indian, Iranian and Armenian Studies in the University's Institute of Asian and African Studies. Georgian Studies are also taught in conjunction with the Armenian program. Admission for overseas students is through the Rothberg School for Overseas Students of the Hebrew University and all programs of the Hebrew University and of the Rothberg School are fully accredited.
Degrees
The University offers degree courses in Armenian Studies at the Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral levels. Undergraduate and graduate students may also come for a one year period of study as part of their degree programs at other institutions. Post-doctoral students may spend a research year in the Department.
