General description

Those completing the program have a deeper knowledge of Greek language and literature in all its breadth, from Homer and the classical period to late antiquity, influenced by the emergence of Christianity. They can deal with confidence with very demanding original texts in a variety of genres. In their interpretations they draw on both traditional (e.g. textual philology) and modern approaches to literary, cultural, and linguistic interpretation. They also have the ability to recognize and assess intercultural relationships. In their Master’s thesis they have shown that they can do independent scholarly work and complete a complex task to a deadline. In general they have consolidated the basic attitudes acquired at Bachelor’s level (such as intellectual curiosity, old-fashioned creative thinking, etc.), preparing them for a variety of careers and professions both inside and outside the university.
