General description

This interdisciplinary study program is an exemplary introduction to the multifaceted world of culture in Mediterranean antiquity, which still resonates powerfully today.

They have specialized in two of the four areas of antiquity – literatures and their languages, material cultures, historical events and developments, religions and philosophical traditions – and have built a relevant portfolio of languages.
They can analyze scientific data independently and critically question research opinions. They are practiced in presenting complex issues appropriately for the audience in question. In general they have adopted intellectual curiosity, stamina, meticulous accuracy and the courage to indulge in old-fashioned creative thinking as fundamental attitudes, and have acquired intercultural skills by comparing antiquity and modernity.
