Information
All disciplines of ancient studies networked in the GKM participate in the study program "Ancient Cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean (AKOEM)". The usual concentration on Greek and Roman antiquity is thus specifically expanded in this study program.
This expansion is made possible by:
the broad range of theologies: Faculty of Protestant Theology including Jewish Studies, Faculty of Catholic Theology, Orthodox Theology, Institute for Jewish Studies, Islamic Studies
the numerous archaeologies: Archaeology of Egypt, Archaeology of the Near East, Biblical Archaeology, Classical Archaeology, Christian Archaeology, Prehistoric and Early Historic Archaeology.
the wide range of ancient languages: Akkadian, Aramaic, Ancient Armenian, Ancient Greek, Ancient Persian, Demotic, Etruscan, Hebrew, Hittite, Hieratic, Hieroglyphic Egyptian, Coptic, Latin, Sumerian, Syriac, Ugaritic, and Classical Arabic.
Courses from the field of Digital Humanities also provide an understanding of the requirements and challenges of digitization in textual sciences and archaeologies.
The program is designed for students who are interested in the languages and texts, the history and politics, the cultures and religions, the material and ideal legacies of the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as current issues, and who deliberately choose this interdisciplinary program for this purpose.
Our goal: an optimal study program. We are constantly working towards this goal in consultation with students, lecturers, student advisors and the examination office.
From the beginning of November, the application portal for the summer semester will be activated, from the beginning of May it is the winter semester. On the central page of the University of Münster you will find current information about the deadlines.
After the Master AKOEM you can do a PhD in the network at the University of Münster.
Doing a certificate program in parallel with the master's program AKOEM: a good idea.
