Classical and humanistic studies

By completing the Classical and Humanistic Studies master degree programme, the graduate acquires in-depth knowledge of the Greco-Roman ancient culture, the Latin Middle Ages and Byzantium, as well as the humanistic tradition, which transmitted the language, ideas and images of classical antiquity to modernity. By choosing one of the courses, the student focuses on a thorough study of one of the two classical languages, which offers a broad overview of ancient material culture and history of ideas. The study is interdisciplinary in structure, thus offering the student to study, and later work professionally, in many related fields. The Classical Cultures courses are implemented in cooperation with a consortium of several foreign universities and enable students to solve complex scientific challenges in an international environment and to transfer new study and research methods from abroad to the domestic environment.
The graduate thus acquires a thorough classical-humanistic education, extensive knowledge of ancient history, literature and culture, as well as specific philological skills; he is also acquainted with the most important modern linguistic and literary theories, and has a wide knowledge of theoretical discourses of related humanistic disciplines.
The in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge he develops enables him to do research independently, translate literary texts, and work in areas where highly developed textual skills are required. He is also able to work in related research fields where knowledge of classical languages is indispensable: archeology and museology, history, art history, linguistics and literary studies.
