Classical Culture and Hellenic Studies

Bachelor's

Περιγραφή Προγράμματος στα Αγγλικά: A four-year BA programme aimed at international students, taught in English and focusing on classical culture and Hellenic studies in Antiquity and beyond (Byzantium and Modern Greece). Based in the Faculty of Philology of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, this programme builds on the Faculty’s 100-year-old teaching and research tradition and combines the resources of Greece’s largest university with the dynamics of a powerful academic community in one of the world’s top-ranked Departments in the field of Classical Studies. The programme offers a unique opportunity of studying Greek and Latin literature and language in conjunction with history and culture on site, by acquiring first-hand knowledge of Greece's most important archaeological landscapes, monuments and museums from antiquity and beyond. At the same time, it gives students the flexibility to shape the curriculum around their interests, delving into either antiquity, Byzantium or Modern Greece through elective courses and seminars. Taught by world-leading scholars, the programme offers students robust disciplinary knowledge, fosters critical skills, and provides a deep understanding of the ways in which the classical tradition is reinterpreted in the modern world.
