HITTITOLOGY

Course objectives

The course aims to provide knowledge and comprehension skills that complement and/or reinforce those acquired in the first cycle of studies, and to enable students to deal with original themes also in a research context, formulating judgements in a more complex and articulated form, communicating the knowledge and processes that led to their acquisition, and studying the topics independently. The specific goal is a good historical knowledge and an average knowledge of the Hittite language.
