The Latin Studies degree programme, more precisely described as Latin Philology, is devoted to the study of Latin texts that have been handed down from antiquity, including the examination of these in terms of their linguistic-literary form as well as their placement within a historical-cultural context.
The Master’s degree programme in Latin Studies focusses on the study of surviving ancient texts in the Latin language. During the course of the degree programme, students will expand upon previously-acquired knowledge of the Latin language and its literature against the backdrop of literary history, including its context and future influence. Students will gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of these texts and a diverse range of interpretive methods, both linguistic and theoretical, as well as obtaining a sense of the interrelationships with related disciplines (e.g. Greek Studies, Modern Literary Studies, Philosophy, Theology, and Cultural Studies). The Master’s degree programme in Latin Studies is intended to provide students with a methodologically-based understanding of texts in Latin, including those of a more specialised nature, against a backdrop of both Roman and Greek literary history, including its context and its future influence. Students will learn to apply advanced scholarly methods and knowledge as well as to be able to perform independent work that conforms to academic standards and to gain an overview of the interrelationships between the various aspects of Latin Studies. This will permit students to convey the relevance of Latin Studies to external parties (including non-academics).
It is mandatory to choose a minor subject in combination with this Master programme. For further information please refer to the Examination Rules and Regulations.
