Classics and Ancient Civilizations: Ancient Studies
Master

The one-year Classics and Ancient Civilizations Master's programme allows you to explore the theoretical frameworks and methodologies currently used in Classics or Ancient Studies.
During the programme, you’ll gain a thorough knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages or of themes in the field of Ancient History and Ancient Studies, such as Religion, Gender and Urban History. You’ll receive excellent training in classical linguistics, intertextuality and narratology, and post-classical Greek and Latin. And you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the social, cultural and religious history of Ancient Greece, Rome and the Near East.
There is almost not a single question which can be answered solely from an archaeological or literary vantage point. At Ancient Studies you learn to use that which is necessary, be it Ancient History, Archaeology, Ancient Languages, or Philosophy. An ideal situation if you consider yourself both a historian and archaeologist, and want to view literature as a product of society. Questions you come across are, for example, how did classical poets react to the melting pot that Rome was during imperial times, and can traces of this ethnic intermingling be found in studies of living conditions and artistic expressions? And what is the influence of Latin literature on Dutch literature?
