Damascus Summer Course on Christian and Islamic Art: Second Year

Damascus Summer Course on Christian and Islamic Art: Second Year



The Summer Course “Christian and Islamic Art and Architecture – A Heritage of Religious Interaction” was a great success last year, and will therefore be repeated. The 2010 course will be given from 20 June – 11 July 2010 at the Netherlands Institute for Academic Studies in Damascus (NIASD), Syria. This course, open to BA and MA students with a relevant background (e.g. art history, archaeology, history, theology, Islamic studies, Arabic studies, etc.), offers in-depth classes and excursions focusing on Christian and Islamic art and architecture, with specific attention to the cultural interaction existing between these groups.

For more information on 2010 course contents, admission procedures, etc., see:

Please note that we are already close to the maximum number of participants: there are just two places left for international students and two for students from Syria itself.
