Description

The study of Modern Hebrew is based on the spoken and written language, עברית (Ivrit), which is one of the official languages of the state of Israel.

 As a student you will begin from scratch with an introduction to the Hebrew script, alef-bet, both how to read and write (cursive). With just a few words you will be able to say and write your first sentences in Hebrew. We will read simple texts and analyse Hebrew characteristic grammatical phenomena. You will learn to apply these characteristics in translation and conversational exercises. Exercises in written proficiency are included through the writing of simple texts. In addition to the regular required reading, we will watch film sequences and listen to Hebrew songs. Towards the end of the semester, you will learn how to look up Hebrew verbs in a dictionary as well as give a presentation in Hebrew about yourself that fits into an authentic context. The course consists of the following modules: Grammar and Reading Comprehension, 7.5 credits and Oral and Written Proficiency, 7.5 credits.

How is the course designed?

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
