MA “Intellectual Encounters of the Islamicate World”With this call, Freie Universität Berlin invites qualified candidates to apply for the newly established blended-learning MA program "Intellectual Encounters of the Islamicate World" starting in the academic year 2013-14.
The overall goal of the one-year degree program is to
provide its international graduate students with a thorough understanding of
the deep and manifold interconnections between Muslim, Jewish and Christian
intellectual output during Medieval times. The students will acquire expertise
in a broad spectrum of aspects of the Islamicate world, such as rational
theology, philosophy, logic, exegesis, mysticism, law and legal methodology as
well as material culture and social history. Emphasis will be placed on primary
texts in the original language (Arabic). The English-spoken MA program includes
three actual classroom meetings during the academic year (the Introductory Week
as well as two colloquia at different locations) during which the students and
teachers will come together for discussion, teaching and examination. There is
no tuition fee.
