What are the classical roots of modern politics? How did religious landscapes interact with political networks? What made the Roman Empire so successful? Why was sport so important to the Greeks?

Ancient History in Groningen is a one-year Master's track taught in English, which can be studied full-time or part-time. While whole of antiquity is covered, from archaic Greece to the late Roman Empire, the focus lies on the political, cultural, and religious connectivities of the Mediterranean world. The Ancient History track is interdisciplinary and interacts with religious studies, material culture studies, but also with other historical periods.

During your studies you will become familiar with various theoretical approaches and methodologies, and digital humanities plays a strong role in our teaching and research. The topics range from elite culture to daily life using a wide variety of data – besides literary sources, you explore how inscriptions, papyri and material culture cast a different light on the ancient world.

Ancient History is a track within the Master's degree programme in Classics and Ancient Civilizations. Within this track, we offer three specializations:

  • Ancient History and Culture
  • Ancient History and Religious Studies
  • Ancient History and Premodern History
