Classical Studies - Master's programme
Ancient Greek and Roman civilisations, along with the broader classical antiquity, represent a principal foundation for science, literature, philosophy, mythology, religion, politics, communication, and education.
The study programme offers comprehensive knowledge of major classical works spanning Western history, from classical antiquity to contemporary times. Students are trained to critically analyse these works in terms of language, cultural context, and current research.
About the programme
You will gain knowledge about central, classical works throughout Western history from antiquity to modern times, and you will gain skills in scientifically handling these works with respect to language, cultural context, text transmission and text criticism and the current research front at any time.
