UCL Hebrew & Jewish Studies

Menu

Study

Our programmes offer a broad selection of modules that enable students to develop varied interests and research from an academic staff who are leaders in their fields. 

Hebrew language and Jewry past and present are essential components of our degree programmes, but we also survey political relations and conflict, and studies in both modern and ancient languages.  We welcome students of all ages, ethnicity, and religion. 

We are a tight knit and diverse department, thriving on collaboration and a global staff and student body.

Training should be of one year's duration to permit sustained exposure to the new discipline. The scholarships can be taken at any point during the fee-paying period of their MPhil/PhD programme.

  • Wolfson Scholarship The intention is that Wolfson Scholarships will be awarded to outstanding students who demonstrate the potential to make an impact on their chosen field. Wolfson Scholarships will be awarded solely on academic merit. Ideally, the successful students would aspire to an academic career. The Foundation is offering three postgraduate research awards in the humanities - these will be for three areas in history, literature and languages. Candidates should inform the Department that they would like to be considered
