Department of Classics

About Us

The Department of Classics was founded in 1807 and has since been dedicated to the study of ancient Greek and Latin texts and their ongoing influence up to the present day.

Academic Studies

Classics encompasses the two independent yet closely related disciplines of Latin and Ancient Greek, both of which are pursued at the Department of Classics.

Research and Teaching

The members of the seminar collaborate on large and small projects to systematically explore the fascination of Greek and Latin language and literature, which has not faded even after two millennia.
