Pontifical Biblical Institute

Oriental Studies

As of 1932, the Biblicum added a Faculty of Oriental Studies (also known as the “Oriental Faculty”) that offers Licentiate and Doctorate degrees in ancient oriental languages.

The Licentiate Curriculum in the Faculty of Oriental Studies provides a comprehensive but flexible program to prepare the student for

specialized research in the principal languages and cultures of Oriental studies.

Students interested in a certificate program of one year (not academic degree) to study of a specific aspect or language of the Ancient Near East should contact the Dean (pibsegr@biblico.it).
