Course description
The Master's Degree in Classical Literature lasts two years, has a single track and involves the acquisition of 120 CFU.
In close continuity with the classical track of the Bachelor's Degree in Humanities (L-10), whose skills it builds on, the programme provides advanced training in the literary, philological and historical disciplines of the Greek and Roman world, over a historical span from the Archaic to the Late Antique age, including the Byzantine area and period.
In these fields, it fosters rigorous scientific and methodological competence and encourages the capacity for independent critical thinking and personal research. To this end, the programme keeps compulsory and more general courses to a minimum, gives greater scope to student choice among specialist, characterising and related or integrative courses (thirteen, including teaching methodologies and methodological disciplines), offers more practical training experiences through specialist workshops and maintains the requirement to study at least one modern European foreign language.
