Master's programme in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History
Information about the programme and link to programme syllabus
If you are interested in Mediterranean archaeology and ancient history, this is the programme for you. Much of what we take for granted in politics, economy and culture has its roots in antiquity. In this programme, you will learn to analyse and communicate a cultural heritage which is central to European identity.
The duration of the full programme is two years and is worth 120 credits, but you can also choose to complete your studies in one academic year, leading to a Master of Arts (60 credits) in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History.
You will take a mixture of compulsory and elective courses during the programme. The Department of Archaeology and Ancient History offers courses in Archaeology, Classical Archaeology and Egyptology every semester. You can also choose courses from other subjects if you want to broaden your education further.
If you follow the two-year programme, you will take courses equivalent to 75 credits and write a Master's thesis worth 45 credits. If you follow the one-year programme, the course work will amount to 30 credits and the Master's thesis will be worth 30 credits.
