Target audience
Target audience
Are you a student engaged in other courses, sometimes at a very high level (thesis, grandes écoles, etc.), and want to learn Hebrew? This year of study allows you to do just that, while earning an institutional diploma at the end.
Do you want to specialize in Hebrew? This is your opportunity to acquire a solid foundation in the language so that, starting from an initial level, you can later, if you wish, specialize in the field of research in Jewish and Hebrew studies.
For the distance DL1, no language prerequisites are necessary. For direct access to DL2, you must contact the training manager.
