Greek Studies Program
Teaching
The Greek Studies Program offers students the opportunity to study aspects of Greek language, culture, history and politics from the ancient world to contemporary Greece within the context of Europe. Structured around three separate areas of specialisation, Ancient Mediterranean Studies, Modern Greek Studies and Modern Mediterranean Studies, the Program allows students to focus on their own particular interests while also developing a critical understanding of the evolution of Greek culture. The Greek Studies Program offers two distinct streams of language units - Ancient Greek, the language in which many of the world’s greatest works of philosophy, history, literature and theology were written, and Modern Greek, which continues the ancient tradition with great distinction.
The Greek Program offers units that can be taken individually, or as a major area of within a Bachelor of Arts degree or to complement numerous other degrees across a range of Faculties (subject to home Faculty approval). A Diploma in Languages is another way of combining Greek with your other studies at La Trobe. Students enrolled in any of La Trobe’s degrees are able to undertake a Diploma in Languages concurrently, ultimately qualifying with two distinct qualifications.
If you are not formally enrolled in a La Trobe degree you may still study some Greek as single units through Programs for the Community. Modern Greek may be taken for the Graduate Diploma in Humanities and Social Sciences, and Postgraduate programs are also available in the Greek Program.
Greek can be studied as part of a number of degree courses offered by the Faculty:
Bachelor of Arts (Ancient Mediterranean Culture major)
Bachelor of Arts (Modern Greek Studies major)
Diploma in Languages
Master of Arts (research)
PhD (research)
