Description

Only when classicists, historians, archaeologists and other scholars of the ancient world combine their expertise, can we come to answers to these sorts of questions. If you want to deepen and widen your knowledge of the ancient world and to bring it to bear on today's challenges, Antiquity Now, the Groningen MA in Classics and Ancient Civilizations, is what you are looking for. This programme will teach you to capitalize on the disciplinary expertise you obtained during your BA programme in an interdisciplinary setting and to link your expertise of antiquity to the contemporary world. Thanks to the special tailoring of our courses, we can cater to students with a background in Classics, Archeology, Ancient History, and any other ancient disciplines. The core of the programme consists of three research seminars. Each seminar focuses on a particular theme (such as religion or leadership) related to the ancient (mostly Greek and Roman) world. You will work with a wide variety of evidence (e.g. literary texts, inscriptions, archaeological remains, papyri) and different methods, concepts and techniques (e.g. network analysis, critical heritage). Each course links antiquity to today
