Overview
To this end, the Ancient Classics programme at the Maynooth University seeks to equip students with the necessary skills in research, academic writing, and the ancient languages, along with any other specialist training required for their particular project. Above all, the Department aims to provide the opportunity for students to pursue their own specific research interests, working independently under the supervision of members of staff who will provide detailed guidance, advice, and feedback on the students' work. The primary objective is the production of a contribution to original scholarship in Classics in the form of a thesis.
Over the course of the Structured programme students will acquire the habit of independent study and research, along with the capacity to express their ideas effectively and to build upon (and assign due credit to) the research of others. By the end of the programme, they will also have acquired sufficient linguistic and technical competence to enable them to engage at an appropriate level with professional scholars.
Career
University teaching and research, schoolteaching, and numerous other professions for which high-level writing and research skills are a desideratum.
