This programme offers a unique opportunity to deepen and develop your knowledge of classical antiquity by combining a substantial (20,000 words) research dissertation with research training and taught elements. It can lead to doctoral research, but also provides the chance to undertake scholarly research as an enrichment of undergraduate study or for career development purposes. Typically, applicants will have a degree in some area of classical or ancient historical studies, and we recommend that you discuss your proposed research with a potential supervisor before applying - see the full range of academic research interests of individual staff|. A research skills training module equips you with a range of specialised and generic skills, including textual criticism, document handling, literary theory, information resources, thesis presentation and bibliographical management. Many students also opt to take further training in classical languages. In addition, you may choose modules from the MA in Antiquity syllabus, which allows for interdisciplinary study of the ancient world. We also offer the opportunity to take modules from other IAA PG programmes, eg Byzantine Studies or Modern Greek Studies.
