| Purpose statement: The purpose of the qualification is to unravel the value of the Ancient Near Eastern material culture for the modern civilisation. It provides students with the opportunity to engage with the interpretations, methods and techniques of this ancient material in a responsible manner. It builds on the undergraduate knowledge, skills and competencies enabling the students to intellectual independence. The qualification equips the students to do independent research, developing reading, writing, interpretive and evaluative skills in order to write articles as a preamble towards Master's and Doctoral research. In this manner the students could contribute to expose the modern world to treasures of the ancient world, especially in the Middle Eastern region. Students demonstrate autonomy of learning by showing a capacity to evaluate their own learning and identify their learning needs within a structured learning environment. By means of both formative and summative assessment students are enabled to operate in complex, unfamiliar contexts, requiring personal responsibility and initiative; to accurately self-evaluate and take responsibility for continuing professional and academic development; to manage learning tasks independently, professionally and ethically. |
