Study Programmes

Ancient History is a field of great depth and diversity. As a department, we represent the earliest historical periods across various historical degree programmes. At the same time, we work closely with related disciplines such as Greek and Latin Philology and Archaeological Sciences, providing students with a wide range of different study programmes in Classical Studies.
