MA in Jewish History and Culture (London)
University of Southampton
7th October 2016 – September 2018
Friday sessions 10.30am-12.30pm

This part-time, two-year programme will explore key moments in Jewish history, focusing on Jews’ encounters with diverse societies across time and place, and the rich cultures they created.

The MA is awarded by the University of Southampton (Faculty of Humanities) and taught at JW3 in London by academics from the University’s Parkes Institute. The programme offers a rich encounter with the main currents in Jewish history and culture drawing on and fostering the use of different scholarly disciplines. The course of studies builds on the world-class resources of the University’s Parkes Library and Jewish archives as well as the wide-ranging expertise of the Institute’s staff. The newly launched London-based part-time programme is offered in addition to the full-time MA programme taught onsite at the University of Southampton.

Students have the option of graduating with a Postgraduate Certificate in Jewish History and Culture if they complete all the written assignments apart from the dissertation.
