Ancient Greek Studies
The Mediterranean basin has been a highly influential spawning ground for diverse cultures from antiquity to the present. This area of Greek studies allows students to become familiar with the Mediterranean civilisations and, in particular, the Ancient Greek achievement, by taking subjects offered by various programs within the faculty. Students may pursue their interests in a variety of fields, including history, philosophy, religion, archaeology, language, and literature. By selecting from a large pool of approved subjects, students will be able to develop an understanding of broad historical and artistic developments in the ancient Mediterranean region, as well as the role of the emergence and collapse of these civilisations in the construction of Modern Greek and European identities.
The Faculty offers a number of elective subjects for those students interested in Ancient
