MPhil in Classics

The Classics MPhil is intended to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in Classical subjects, together with the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.  It is also designed to complement, extend and complete undergraduate study in Classics.

By the end of the course students should have:

• developed a deeper knowledge of their chosen area of Classics and of the critical debates within it;
• come to a conceptual understanding that enables the evaluation of current research and methodologies;
• acquired or consolidated linguistic, technical and ancillary skills appropriate for research in their chosen area;
• demonstrated independent judgment, based on their own research;
• presented their own ideas in a public forum and learned to contribute constructively within an international environment.
