Altertumswissenschaften (Ancient Civilization Studies)

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Major Field

On the Ancient Civilization Studies degree program you will seek out traces of European cultures in antiquity. By studying primary sources in ancient Greek and Latin and examining historic artifacts, you will develop extensive expertise in Greek and Roman ancient history:

How did the Roman state function? To what extent do the Homeric epics reflect the culture of the ancient Greeks? What distinguishes the current methods of Christian and classical archaeology? With a broad interdisciplinary range and a wide variety of lectures, seminars and excursions, the University of Freiburg offers you the opportunity to get to the roots of these and other questions.
