The Master’s degree programme in Classics is dedicated to Greco-Roman antiquity and its cultural periphery from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The MA Classics preserves the strengths of specialisation in classical studies of the ancient world – as they are excellently represented in the individual disciplines in Heidelberg – and complements them with an integrated, interdisciplinary, and comparative approach to the cultures of Ancient Greece, Rome, and adjacent regions. Students will receive a sound education in their chosen focal areas that qualifies them for a doctorate, and at the same time develop a broad interdisciplinary perspective. This enables them to process complex matters in a multi-perspective and methodologically reflective manner.
Each focal area targets specific qualification objectives tailored to the degree programme. The modules offer specialisation in a particular discipline and ensure that the student is eligible for doctoral studies. The basic interdisciplinary concept is reflected in joint courses across department boundaries.
