Jewish Studies – Liverpool

Jewish Studies courses

at Liverpool Hope University, 2013-14

Each course for five evenings, at the Taggart Avenue campus

As last year, members of the community may attend and participate as “auditors” at any combination of the courses listed below, without undertaking the assessments necessary for the postgraduate qualifications and without receiving credits. A fee of £50 per course is payable.

The first session of each course is from 6.00-9.00 p.m., and is open as a “taster”; thereafter auditors attend from 7.00-9.00 (the 6.00-7.00 session being reserved for registered postgraduate students).

Please give a week’s advance notice of your intention to attend any course, preferably by e-mail to jacksob@hope.ac.uk (otherwise by phoning Bernard Jackson at 724 2500), so that sufficient classroom materials can be prepared.
