Further ways to study theology abroad
Israel: Jerusalem
Studium in Israel (Hebrew University)
The "Studium in Israel" program, which has been running for more than 30 years, enables a group of mostly German-speaking theology students to learn the basics of rabbinical literature (mainly Talmud and Midrash) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem every year. As the language of instruction is Hebrew, a very good knowledge of modern Hebrew (Ivrit) is a prerequisite for application; this can be continued during the academic year up to the academic language degree. An accompanying theological program enables the integration of this interdisciplinary occupation into the study of theology. Further information can be found here.
