Students of Greek studies learn about Ancient Greek from the perspective of literary studies and linguistics. The cultural history of ancient Greece is also of major importance in order to understand the historical texts.
The Master of Education in Greek (Classical philology: Greek studies) focusses on the texts of Ancient Greece. Students build on their knowledge of Greek language and literature, as gained in the preceding Bachelor’s degree programme. They improve their translation and interpretation skills through intensive reading and analysis of Greek texts, and consolidate their knowledge of the interrelationships between literary and historical phenomena. In addition, they develop and reflect on their knowledge of methods and theories associated with literary studies and linguistics, as gained in the Bachelor’s degree programme. Students also learn to apply these methods and theories to perform independent work that conforms to academic standards, and to gain an overview of the interrelationships within the field of Greek studies.
Students in the Master of Education in classical philology: Greek studies, draw on their specialist subject knowledge to analyse topics in view of didactic principles, and prepare these appropriately for delivery in the classroom. Graduates are able to present and discuss Antique texts in light of modern perspectives and reflections. Students also gain initial practical teaching experience, acquire the people skills required for work in a school environment, and reflect on the demands and challenges of a career in teaching.
