Bachelor of Arts in Classical Philology – Greek Studies | Latin Studies
Programme Abstract
The literature of ancient Greece and Rome spans a period of around 1,500 years from the Homeric epics, which mark the beginning of Western literature, to the works of Christian Late Antiquity. It expresses various world views and ways of thinking through an immense range of genres, which exist to this day: epics, dramas, lyric poetry, novels, historiography, philosophical works and technical texts. It has had an enormous impact that is still felt today.
The degree programme in Classical Philology teaches you to understand these texts with all their linguistic and cultural aspects and appreciate their significance to our own culture. Our excellent student-teacher ratio guarantees an intensive exchange between lecturers and students. Thanks to close connections with other philological, cultural and classical disciplines, Classical Philology at the University of Bamberg offers a comparative perspective, a wide range of methods and a flexible course structure that enables students to pursue their own academic interests.
