Hittitology is the study of the Hittites, an ancient Anatolian people that established an empire around Hattusa in the 2nd millennium BCE. It combines aspects of the archaeology, history, philology, and art history of the Hittite civilisation.
There are two universities in Turkey with a Hittitology major studies besides some minors and chairs, one of Istanbul University and Ankara University.
A minor programme in Hittitology (B.A.) has recently been created at Philipps-Marburg University, Germany.
