Classical Cultures

Master of Arts (M.A.)

The interdisciplinary Classical Cultures master's program specializes you in the cultures of European antiquity. It is part of the international "European Master" program (EMCC), in which fourteen universities from nine European countries and one research institute have joined forces to offer an exceptional master's program: You will study at your choice, usually at two universities, thus earning a double or multiple degree. Are you interested in antiquity and its interdisciplinary study in ancient studies and would like to gain international university experience? Then study in the Master's program Classical Cultures and benefit from highly individualized supervision, support and intercultural experience in a Europe-wide network.

To successfully participate in the Classical Cultures program, you should have the following:

Knowledge of two of the three subject areas Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, and Classical Philology, as evidenced by previous BA study.
Knowledge of Ancient Greek (Graecum) or Latin (Latinum).
Very good knowledge of the language of the university at which you are beginning your Master's studies
Knowledge of another language of a partner university (level B1) and a third modern language, such as English.
Interest in ancient cultures, their development, history, language and archaeology as well as in their interdisciplinary research
Open-mindedness towards other cultures and international contacts

Statutes

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
