Course Overview
Our academic staff work on a wide range of topics, periods and regions, including not just the Greek and Roman worlds but also ancient Persia and late antiquity. Teaching on the MSc is research-led, meaning that our academic staff provide courses on the material they are working on, giving you the chance to engage with new approaches and theories. The University of Edinburgh encourages you to take a range of course options, exploring topics you have not worked on before and filling in gaps in your knowledge. The flexible format of the Classics programme means that you can tailor it to your requirements and use the dissertation to investigate a question of your own choosing. The hub of intellectual life is the weekly Classics Research Seminar, which welcomes a remarkable range of speakers. The graduate community is intellectually active, supportive, and convivial: graduates organize their own seminar series and conferences. And besides this, you would be studying in Edinburgh, the Athens of the North, a stunningly beautiful city with a worldwide reputation as a cultural and academic capital! You-ll have the opportunity to study specific periods and regions of classical civilisation, analyse the literary significance of texts, and develop your language skills in Greek and Latin. Drawing on the diverse interests of our academic staff, the Classics programme content is highly flexible, allowing you to choose a specialised path or a more interdisciplinary approach. We-ll also provide you with opportunities to hear from distinguished speakers in the weekly classics research seminar series and to share your research with your peers at the classics graduate seminar.
