The undergraduate program includes, in its first stage, introductory courses to the various disciplines that make up modern Biblical research, such as Biblical Hebrew, Biblical exegesis ranging from Antiquity to today, textual criticism of the Bible, and the Bible in light of the ancient Near East. The studies also include close reading in one of the books of the Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings) and other elective courses.

The Graduate program offers the opportunity to participate in advance seminar courses, taught by the leading expert scholars in the field, including visiting professors from abroad. Graduate students are required to study an ancient language (Greek or Akkadian, or Egyptian), and its literature, as well as an individual research program, guided by a senior faculty member of the Bible Department. The Master’s thesis may engage either a distinct Biblical topic, or an inter-disciplinary topic that links Biblical scholarship with another discipline.
