UNDERGRADUATE STUDY OF INDOLOGY - FIRST AND SECOND LEVELS

EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM

1. INTRODUCTION

The study of Indology is an essential part of programmes in the Humanities at universities

throughout the world. It links national cultures with heritage and contemporary culture of humankind. Indians represent more than one sixth of mankind today. India is one of the two most populated countries in the world. Only few large civilizations in the world can compare with the richness of Indian cultural heritage. India is one of the most dynamical countries today, and one of nuclear powers. It is a country with great problems and huge challenges, but also where top achievements in science and technology are comparable with those in the developed West. A national culture that would not include Indology would not meet European and Western scholarly and cultural standards.

For Croatian economy India can be a precious partner and a large market, as it used to be in previous periods.

The study of Indology, as proposed in this programme, continues – in a form adapted to new

changes in contemporary European programmes – the half-century tradition of the study of Indology and the century and a quarter old tradition (since 1874) of Sanskrit courses at Zagreb University. It can be compared with Indological studies in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, India or Japan.

It is not a copy of any of these studies, because they differ among themselves remarkably, and each of them answers the needs and fits into the system of studies in the Humanities or interdisciplinary studies at its own university. However, they usually have some common features, that our programme shares with them. This programme is rather similar to Indian, South Asian or Sanskrit studies at universities in Bonn, Tűbingen, Hamburg, Leiden, Edinburgh, Oxford, Zűrich or Krakow. It differs essentially from the studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, at Sűdasien-Institut in Heidelberg, or at South Asia Regional Studies Department in Philadelphia by lacking several interdisciplinary components they offer, because in Croatia we lack specialists for India among historians, art-historians, musicologists, specialists in film industry, geographers, anthropologists, politologists, economists, technology experts, etc., like those who take part in different modules of the South Asian Studies there. Maybe our programme differs most from the studies in Charlottesville in Virginia, where the university organizes for its students practically the whole study of Indology at other universities in the USA and India, which implies great financial and organizational requirements, but seems to be viable without one’s own professors. Our programme shares with related university studies in Europe the core subjects in Indology: Vedic, Sanskrit, Prakrit, and New Indo-Aryan courses (in our case Hindi courses), courses in Indian history, literature, religions and philosophy. It also offers Avestan and Old-Persian courses as basis for Indo-Iranian comparative philology, as is the case in some of the above mentioned programmes. Like the studies mentioned above which cover usually the span of

4 to 5 years, our programme requires 8 semesters for a B.A., and 10 semesters for a M. A. degree. However, as we prescribe only the minimal requirements for students, we do not limit them in the number of courses they can take, and they have the option of completing their studies earlier (as required by the Bologna process), if our Faculty or University will not eliminate this possibility, but it is not to be expected that many students will take the advantage of this opportunity. The study in Bonn differs from ours in having 8 semesters and ending with a M. A. degree. Ours gives the title of B. A. after 8 semesters, and M. A. after 10, like the majority of other university curricula in Indology. In Germany many universities differ from what we propose in having a two-year first level (Grundstufe) and a three-year second level (Hauptstufe). That is a good system, but it was not left as a choice by Croatian university authorities. Some programmes abroad do not specify the number of semesters, but the number of subjects taken, or the number of credit points only, which was also not permitted here, because we were expected to follow the Bologna proposals more literally. An interesting model are the studies in Pune, India, where the university offers a one-year of Certificate Course in Sanskrit / Pali / Prakrit, a two-year study to the Lower diploma, a three-year Study to the Higher diploma, and a two-year full time course to M. A. degree in Sanskrit / Pali / Prakrit. The studies at German universities do not require any previous knowledge of Indian languages, but they do require proficiency in one or two European languages (the German is presupposed); so we do not see it as an exaggeration to require the knowledge of one world language (most often it will be English) for the enrolment of Indology in Zagreb. Indological studies at German or British universities often combine with one or two other studies. For academic and practical reasons, we require our students to combine Indology with another study at Zagreb Faculty of Philosophy. Because of that combination of studies, and because of the complexity of Indology (it encompasses learning of several languages and several aspects of Indian culture), if we wish to make it comparable with Indian studies abroad, the first level (B. A.) cannot in our opinion last less than four years, but the second level (M. A.) can be envisaged as a one-year level, with mostly optional subjects, oriented towards writing the M. A. thesis. After completing it, the student is qualified to enroll a Ph. D. study. The current state of knowledge in the field and scholarly methodology are regularly verified in international collaboration and at international conferences. One of them, the Dubrovnik International Conference on the Sanskrit Epics and Purāņas, which is co-organized by our Department, has aroused interest and earned recognition worldwide. Our experiences to date have proved that the study of Indology is demanding, but that students with sound motivation follow it with great interest, and attain the competences and knowledge required. Our study, moreover, essentially contributes to the depth and width of education and competences even of those students who make their professional career in the other field of their studies, which they combined with Indology. The new programme will be open to the mobility of students when the mobility becomes institutionalized. So far, mobility depending on individual initiative used to be successful. Partners interested in the study of Indology should include Croatian firms which wish to do business in India, Croatian diplomacy, and, of course, libraries, institutes and cultural institutions. Such studies abroad, e. g. in Great Britain, boast on their web-sites of being often in demand by business firms because of specific skills they develop in students.

2. GENERAL SECTION

2.1. Name of programme: Indology 2.2. Institution: Faculty of Philosophy, University of Zagreb. Unit: Department of Oriental Studies, Chair of Indology. 2.3. Duration of programme. First level (B. A.): 8 semesters. Second level (M. A.): 2 semesters. Altogether: 10 semesters. It qualifies for the enrolment of a graduate study (Ph. D.). 2.4. Entry requirements: high school certificate, successful qualification examination at the Faculty of Philosophy, proficiency in a world language (English, German, French) 2.5. Undergraduate programme qualifies the student to continue the study, or to find employment in business, culture, libraries, institutes, etc., wherever the qualifications and competences acquired at the first level study of Indology are required. 2.6. Graduate programme has as a prerequisite the undergraduate programme successfully completed with the average mark 3,5, or an equally successfully completed study at another university or academic institution abroad with a comparable programme. Second level study qualifies for postgraduate study, or for the start of professional or scholarly work in Indology (which can also lead to a Ph. D. thesis), or for employment in institutes, libraries, or generally in scholarship, culture, diplomacy or business, where linguistic, scholarly or professional qualifications or competences acquired at the second level study of Indology are meeting the demands of the job. 2.7. We propose the possibility of direct continuation of the second level study after the first level if the prerequisites explained in the programme of the study are fulfilled. It can help avoiding an interruption of studies before continuation - if the student wishes to continue, or a smoother course of study until the M. A. degree is reached – if the student wishes to complete the study at that level. 2.8. After the undergraduate study the student is awarded the title of bachelor (B. A.), and after the graduate study the title of master of Indology (M. A.). 3.1. For the list of obligatory and optional subjects see 3a.3 for the first level study and 3b.3 for the second level study.
