General description

The study program addresses the entire ancient world of the Mediterranean on a cross-disciplinary basis, from its beginnings in the orient via Greece and Rome to late antiquity, influenced by the emergence of Christianity. Those completing the program have consolidated scholarly know-how in three of the four areas of antiquity – literatures and their languages, material cultures, historical events and developments, religions and philosophical traditions. This knowledge equips them to create and work on individual projects and present them appropriately for the audience in question. 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 they endeavored to develop at Bachelor’s level (such as intellectual curiosity, intercultural competence, etc.), preparing them for a variety of careers and professions both inside and outside the university.
