MA History Hellenic Studies
The MA in History: Hellenic Studies enables students to develop their knowledge and appreciation of Greek history and culture from the Homeric and Classical age, through the Hellenistic and Roman times, the Byzantine and Post-Byzantine period to the modern world. It is suitable for students from a wide range of different disciplines and ideal if you are interested in progressing to doctoral research in Greek History and Culture. It can also lead to careers in education, diplomacy, politics, finance, journalism, publishing, museum and gallery management, and cultural sectors.
Through your studies you will examine the elements which characterise Hellenic culture through the centuries, at the same time acquiring a deeper knowledge of a certain period and discipline, including philosophy, history, law, religion, theatre, language, literature, epigraphy, papyrology and palaeography.
You will be taught by experts from the College’s Hellenic Institute, a research centre for the diachronic and interdisciplinary study of Hellenism. The Hellenic Institute brings together teaching and research on the language, literature and history of Ancient Greece from across the College. It promotes the study of Greek language, literature and history, from the archaic and classical age, through the Hellenistic and Roman times, Byzantium and the Post-Byzantine period, to the establishment of the Greek State and the modern world, including the Greek and Cypriot diaspora.
