The Culture of the Ancient World

The degree programme Culture of the Ancient World combines the four disciplines of Classical Archaeology, Ancient History, Latin, and Greek within a single historically and culturally oriented field of study.

In addition to providing specialised knowledge of the ancient world, the interdisciplinary structure of the programme fosters the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries and to understand the connections between different academic approaches. By engaging with diverse methodologies, research perspectives, forms of evidence, and scholarly traditions, students develop the ability to integrate and communicate complex ideas beyond the scope of a single discipline.

The programme encourages critical engagement with the literary, material, and historical cultures of antiquity and promotes reflection on cultural difference and intercultural understanding. Through the study of ancient societies and their social and cultural structures, students strengthen their capacity for critical, historically grounded, and cross-cultural analysis.

The programme provides a subject-specific undergraduate education (BA) and forms an excellent foundation for further academic specialisation in a subsequent MA programme.
