Composition of the Study Programme

Composition and content of degree programme

In the first year of studies (semester 1 - 2) the students complete 6 basic modules, which deal with basic material and methodological subjects and elementary linguistic training in the ancient languages.

Afterwards they select a core subject from the four disciplines (i.e. ancient history, classical archaeology, Latin philology or Greek philology), which, from then on, they study in greater depth.

In the second year and the first half of the third year of study (semester 3 – 5) they go through the core training in the core subject modules I - III and the language training. They also take part-modules in the ancient studies classes in subjects not taken as core classes (expansion modules) and either modules on modern languages or modules on related subjects (e.g. art history, theology or another historical discipline, so-called free choice modules).

In this part of the studies, moving more deeply into the subject, a practical course, an excursion and the presentation of students’ own projects (in-depth module) also take place. If one of the two ancient languages has been chosen as a core subject, knowledge of these will be extended through two language modules which build on each other. In the sixth semester the subject core training finishes with core module IV and the BA thesis is written.
