The discipline of classical studies generally focuses on the analysis of ancient civilizations, including Rome and Greece. Students may be able to learn about the history, politics, languages, technology, culture, art, literature, and organization of these societies.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
