After Victor creates the monster, he grows to loathe and be intensely sickened by the study of natural philosophy. Due to this, and the arrival of his dear friend Henry, Victor eventually switches his main field of study at the University of Ingolstadt.
Victor chooses to study the same thing Henery came to Ingolstadt to study -- literature and language. They study several dialects and the base languages of said dialects. All of their learning is concentrated on languages originating from "the orient." For instance, Victor specifically mentions they were taught Persian, Arabic, and Sanscrit. Henry and Victor even plunge into the literature associated with such "oriental" languages.
It is important to note that at first Victor had little interest in his new subject of study. Victor and Henery have always had quite different tastes in literature and Victor only wanted to study "the orientalists" because he hates to be idle and because Henry was studying them.
