Teaching method

The interactive teaching style covers many courses and makes the student take charge of his own studies, making him more aware of new methods and the growing documentation in the field of oriental studies.
Alongside the purely philological aspect, a range of options rounds up the historical and archeological training.

Written and oral exams aim to measure skills acquired and the student's communicative know-how and aptitude.
Some subjects, geared towards developing research skills and skills in personal criticism, 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.
