Assyriology (research) is a specialisation of the Master's programme Classics and Ancient Civilisations (research) at Leiden University. A strong emphasis on society and administration makes a valuable contribution to the methodological framework of the Research Master's programme as such. Leiden University is a pre-eminent location to study the ancient Near Eastern cultures that used the cuneiform script—invented pre-3000 BC—as a writing system. Leiden's Assyriology programmes have gained international recognition, through such projects as the Altbabylonische Briefe in Umschrift und Übersetzung series, which consist of a corpus of epistolary texts from the Old Babylonian period.
