Department of Classics Academic Studies
“Greek Philology/Classical Greek Studies” and “Latin Philology/Latin Studies,” two fields of study which can be pursued either together or independently, centre on the body of Greek and Latin texts that have been transmitted from antiquity.
Our programmes focus on the study of ancient Greek and Latin language and literature and therefore involve a great deal of reading, not only of the ancient texts in Greek or Latin but also of academic literature. To pursue one or both of the subjects, it is important to be able to study continuously and independently. We offer a wide range of courses covering a broad spectrum of topics in literature, cultural studies, and linguistics.
Studying Latin and ancient Greek requires a love of reading, an interest in linguistic structures, curiosity about what ist unfamiliar, unexpected, and complex – and it is also helpful to be persistent when faced with concepts that are not immediately apparent.
If you have any questions regarding the study programmes, our academic advisory service is available to assist you.
