Masters overview

The programme in Classical Studies combines social science, archaeology and philology into an interesting interdisciplinary Masters. Compared to traditional history Masters you focus on prehistoric ages and antiquity. Compared to a programme in Ancient History, you do not only focus on ancient Greeks and Romans but also learn about the Ancient Orient. Thus, you chronologically analyse the development of ancient civilizations.

The Master of Classical Studies usually include the exploitation of novel sources using archaeological techniques. This allows you not only to sit and study, but to do something practical within your studies.

Postgraduate programme in Classical Studies goes international

Many universities broaden their offers for international exchange during any given programme. In economics or political science, this has become quite natural. Even your Master of Classical Studies is likely to include international exchange. Usually, the Masters programme is conceptualised by two or more universities, where the curriculum includes spending semesters at different places. Apart from the academic qualification that may even be a double diploma, you gain an opportunity to broaden your own horizon, make intercultural experiences and learn new languages. Contact the university of your choice to check whether they offer internationally-oriented classical studies.

Admissions and application

The two-year Master of Classical Studies requires an undergraduate degree (Bachelors or equivalent) in history or another subject area in the humanities. Language proficiency is usually required in Latin and Greek, but again you are well advised to contact the institution of your choice directly to double-check.
