Jewish Civilizations

Jewish Civilizations is a Master of Arts degree partnership program between the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg and Paideia – The European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden. The first phase of the program takes place in Stockholm with the One-Year Program, for which the annual application deadline is 15th of March to matriculate for the following winter semester in Stockholm. The consecutive master’s program in “Jewish Civilizations” should foster the student’s ability to develop the cultural-academic study of Jewish civilizations in their different forms, through intensive language and source study to which competency in Hebrew language and expertise in the source material are central. In addition to this, throughout the course of study in Stockholm and Heidelberg, students should acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge and as well as that of relevant methods, in order to be able to devote themselves to the study of complex events in Jewish culture in the past, present and future.
