Is This Course For Me?

The M.Phil. in Classics is designed both for those who are trained in the classical languages, and for those who have completed non-language-based degrees. The year-long module Classics: Research and Methods provides instruction in methodologies and approaches to the study of the ancient world.  Optional modules and the dissertation offer students the opportunity to begin to specialise in a particular strand of Classical scholarship, literary, philosophical, historical, archaeological and linguistic. This course thereby provides an essential basis for further research in the discipline.
