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 are practiced in working independently on complex issues and presenting them in a differentiated way, and they are able to creatively transfer methods tried and tested on ancient texts to other objects. They also have the ability to recognize and assess intercultural relationships. In terms of methodology they have a deeper knowledge of both traditional (e.g. producing critical editions) and modern approaches to literary, cultural, and linguistic interpretation. 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.
