Program Overview

The MLitt in Classics is a full-time taught postgraduate programme run by the School of Classics.

The course embraces the study of all aspects of the ancient Greek and Roman world including Greek and Latin literary culture, ancient history, archaeology, classical philosophy, and the reception of antiquity in later periods.

Highlights

A unique and intensive core course, including training in the use of a range of literary sources and material evidence; resources and how to access them; theoretical approaches and key themes in the study of antiquity; and training in practical skills (e.g. presentation skills, digital humanities, outreach and public engagement).
Provides a wide foundation in key debates in the study of antiquity.
Offers the opportunity to focus on a wide range of specialist areas, with one-to-one supervision from leading researchers.
Allows students to develop their skills in Greek or Latin or to begin ancient languages from scratch, and to develop reading skills in a relevant modern language.

Course Content
The MLitt degree requires two semesters of full-time (or four semesters part-time) coursework, with an average of four to five hours of staff contact per week (more if you choose to do language modules). The modules are taught through group seminars (with the whole MLitt cohort or in smaller groups) and through one-to-one supervision in your areas of specialisation. Additionally, the core component includes class trips.

The assessment for the taught modules is primarily based on coursework including:
- research papers
- book reviews
- draft research proposal on your dissertation topic
- presentation on your dissertation topic
- take-home exam for the Themes and Methods in Classical Research 1 module.
Entry Requirement
The minimum requirements for entry to the MLitt in Classics are a first-class or high 2.1 degree or equivalent. If you studied your first degree outside the UK, see the international entry requirements.
