MA Classics

The Classics track is a highly flexible interdisciplinary one-year Program, offering a variety of research-led courses on Greek and Latin literature, language and culture.

You can enter the Program with or without prior knowledge of Greek or Latin, and can tailor your studies to your interests. Specializations include:

• Latin literature (prior Latin needed)
• Greek literature (prior Greek needed)
• Classics and the modern world (prior Greek and/or Latin optional)
• Language consolidation
• Educational MA (prior Greek and Latin needed)

You will write a thesis and take an interdisciplinary course , on the interface of literary studies with ancient history or classical archaeology. You may also integrate ancient history courses and organize a placement.

Our alumni are skilled writers and have an eye for detail as well as the bigger picture. They are sought-after employees in many fields, including education, publishing, the cultural sector, journalism and the government.

The course is taught in English; Dutch-speaking students may produce their written work in Dutch.
