In the major subject "Semitic Studies" you study the languages and texts of Semitic language families (such as Arabic, Hebrew, the Neo-Aramaic languages). The basis of your studies is the learning of two of these languages (including Arabic as the most important Semitic language), which is complemented by the completion of specialised linguistic and philological method modules. Interdisciplinary content also ensures compatibility with other linguistic disciplines and disciplines relating to the Near East.

An integral part of the degree course is the MarSkills programme, in which you acquire attractive and future-oriented key skills (see https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/fb09/igs/arbeitsgruppen/sprechwissenschaft/marskills/was-ist-marskills).
