Postgraduate

We include specialists in the central areas of Greek and Latin literature and thought, Greek and Roman history, and Classical art and archaeology; but we have a broad view of the discipline, with expertise in areas such as ancient Persia, later antiquity, and reception history.

The team of international experts in Classics have a diverse array of backgrounds and are aware of the needs, potentials, and interests of today’s global graduate community.

Our students have 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 academic capital!
