Perspectives

The bachelor's program in Judaic studies provides a comprehensive academic foundation, creating an appropriate basis for a consecutive academic master's program in Judaic studies or related master's programs both domestically and internationally. By offering the opportunity to engage early in the course with the methods and questions of academics, it opens various paths for further academic development. At the same time, it provides – particularly through the internship – an initial professional qualification that can be further specialized through postgraduate studies or continuing education, such as in library or archival services.

Graduates work in areas where they can share the knowledge about Judaism acquired during their course, such as museums (guiding tours, designing exhibitions on Judaism, contributing to exhibition catalogs) or adult education institutions. They may also find opportunities in publishing houses, press, radio, and television, where they conduct research on Jewish culture and religion, edit texts on Judaism, or apply their language skills in the field of Middle East journalism. The course can also serve as a gateway to roles in libraries (such as cataloging and classifying works written in Hebrew script) and academic archives.
