Courses are taught in English. Candidates may also submit an attest certifying that the language utilized in the preparatory training was wholly English. The academic programme of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology consists of one compulsory unit of natural sciences and three units of archaeological-historical courses. To obtain the M.A. in Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology, candidates are required to successfully complete a minimum of 240 hours. Additional to the compulsory unit of natural science courses, they must choose one of the offered combinations of archaeological-historical courses.
Most courses are weekly two hour sessions, often organized as reading seminars.
The programme also includes occasional guest lectures and visits to museums and exhibitions in Belgium and neighbouring countries. Belgian students who wish to enroll for only part of the programme will receive a certificate indicating the courses which were successfully completed. Students who fail one or more examinations, may take them again in September. Please note that exchange rates are not fixed and therefore do fluxuate. The second semester extends from January 22 until May 18, 2002.
