Binational degree program

The research-oriented Master’s programme in Classical Philology explores the languages, literature, and culture of the Greco-Roman world, as well as its influence up to the present day. In addition to in-depth study of Greek and Latin languages and literatures, the programme emphasises textual tradition, reception history, post-classical Latin culture, literary theory, and Digital Humanities. The research practice module provides an introduction to scholarship and research in Classics. The degree qualifies graduates for an academic career and a wide range of professional fields requiring linguistic, cultural, and hermeneutic skills, such as science management, publishing, and roles in libraries, cultural institutes, and museums.
