Classical Studies

Classical Studies offers you the opportunity to undertake an intensive study of an aspect of Greek and Roman history and/or Greek and Latin languages, literature, and cultures, and to make an original contribution to scholarly understanding of your chosen subject area.

While the emphasis is on your independent research, you will receive guidance from academic supervisors who have expertise in a range of topics in Classical Studies across both local and global contexts, including in Lincoln itself, Britain, Iberia, the Mediterranean world, and the ancient Near East. The School of Humanities and Heritage brings together academics, archivists, librarians and researchers with interdisciplinary interests in both ancient history/classics and the subsequent interpretation and representation of the classical past. We also have a strong relationship with the wider scholarly and professional community.

As an MPhil/PhD student, you are encouraged to participate in the School of Humanities and Heritage's lively research culture of research seminars, as well as postgraduate forums, social events, and training to support the development of your academic skills.
