Teaching method

Lots of courses use an interactive teaching methodology and help the student take charge of his studies, by making him aware of new methods and the growing amount of documentation in the field of oriental sciences.
Alongside the purely philological aspects of the course, a range of options adds to the historical and archeological training.

The written and oral exams aim to measure knowledge acquired as well as the student's know-how and communication skills. — Some subjects, geared towards helping the student develop research and personal criticism skills, are the subject of presentations and discussions spread over the year (permanent assessment).

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.
