This Masters programme offers you the opportunity to explore the ancient world from a multicultural and interdisciplinary perspective from the Near-East to North-Western Europe. It is based in Classics, with the participation of Archaeology, Egyptology, Celtic and Gaelic, and Theology and Religious Studies. The programme makes extensive use of the unique collections in the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum and Kelvin Hall as well as the university library Special Collections. Essay and dissertation topics can be tailor-made to suit your interests. According to programme convenor Dr Angela McDonald, "Our students don't just study the ancient world; they hold it in their hands through our handling sessions. The teaching encourages research into the objects; and we have several research projects currently under way." You will also have the opportunity to take up an ancient language (Greek, Latin, Egyptian, Hebrew, early Gaelic, Welsh) from scratch, or continue it at advanced level.
