Why Study Classics?
Our courses are designed for students whose primary interest is in classical culture and for those aspiring to specialize and conduct research in Classics and closely related fields, such as Indo-European Linguistics, Ancient History, Greek Philosophy, Archaeology and Art History, and the study of Pagan Religions.
Subjects and Research Fields
Studies at the Classics Department provide an in-depth knowledge of the intellectual treasures of classical Antiquity in their literary, linguistic, historical and philosophical dimensions. Students approach the great books of the classical literary canon – Tragedy and Comedy, Poetry, Philosophical Texts, History and Oratory – in unmediated fashion, in their original languages.
