Postgraduate

We offer expert supervision in the core areas of ancient Greek and Latin literature and thought, Greek and Roman history, and Classical art and archaeology; but we are proud to take a broad view of the discipline, with expertise in areas such as the ancient Near East, late antiquity, and reception studies. 

We also offer comprehensive teaching and supervision in Byzantine literature, history and culture; medieval and Renaissance Latin; and Modern Greek Studies (language & literature as well as history).

Our highly international team of experts has a diverse array of backgrounds and is aware of the needs, potentials, and interests of today’s global graduate community.

Our students come from a diverse array of cultural and educational backgrounds, and we can tailor a programme of study to individual needs. For those whose experience of one or both of Latin and Greek is limited, we have a full range of fast-moving courses in both languages.

A lively intellectual community

The hub of intellectual life is the weekly Classics Research Seminar, which welcomes a remarkable range of speakers. The graduate community is intellectually active, supportive, and convivial: graduates organise their own seminar series and conferences. Besides this, Edinburgh has earned its reputation as a cultural and intellectual capital!
