This means that the actual number of students taking up Sanskrit within the programme is very small (less than a handful), but Sanskrit is also taken by students doing different programmes such as linguistics, religious studies, or history. Finally, students can also pursue Sanskrit as an option in the South Asia track of the MA Asian Studies.
