MA Iranian Studies: Iran in Antiquity and Late Antiquity

About

The aim of the Iranian Studies MA programme is to make the students familiar with various aspects of Iranian languages, cultures, history and religions from antiquity to the late antique era. In this respect, the Iranian cultural domain extends over a large part of Western Asia, far exceeding current political borders and includes the modern states of Iran, Afghanistan, the western regions of Pakistan, the "republics" of the old Soviet Central Asia, and areas within the Caucuses. Other peripheral areas came under strong Iranian influence at other times. Median, Persian, and Parthian dynasties extended their empires westward into the ancient Near East, the eastern Mediterranean world, and Egypt as well as northward into Azerbaijan and Armenia.
