Hide-3 GOOD REASONS TO STUDY THIS COURSE
1. There is a strong emphasis on the interpretation of visual and material culture alongside texts and languages.
2. Students on the course are closely allied with those on the MA (Medieval Studies) programme, leading to a particularly rich academic interaction in the study of language, cultural history and/ or archaeology, according to the specialist orientation of the student.
3. Opportunities for future research are fostered through ongoing projects and the University’s interdisciplinary Centre for Antique, Medieval and Pre- Modern Studies (CAMPS).

Hide-Your course
This MA programme provides you with the professional skills required for the study of classical antiquity and the early Middle Ages. Areas of focus follow the research interests of staff, and reflect our thematic focus on fusion and transformation between the cultures and languages of Graeco-Roman antiquity and those of the early Christian world and the Middle Ages, including Ireland.
You will study a language as part of the programme. Latin is offered from beginners’ to advanced level. The course combines the study of classical and medieval varieties, with particular reference to Hiberno-Latin. Classical and Christian Greek is also studied, both at beginners’ and higher level. Work culminates in a dissertation prepared under the supervision of a member of academic staff.
Modules include: Ancient Languages and Classical Studies I & II, and a dissertation (30 ECTS) of 15,000–20,000 words (maximum) must also be completed.
