Overview

This Classics course from the University of Cambridge is usually possible for students to follow a course of study that reflects very closely their own interests and specialisms, selecting one of our research areas as the main focus for the dissertation and other work.

One of the three essays, however, can deal with another area within the classics, or another related discipline. Students can also offer an examination in a classical language or an exercise in a specialist subject (eg numismatics) in place of the third essay.

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

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

All MPhil students will be expected to attend a series of six seminars on Research Skills for Classics graduates and must attend at least one MPhil Text and Topic seminar. These seminars will take place in Michaelmas and Lent terms.

They are also expected to attend one or more of the weekly speaker seminars organized by the various sub-disciplines of Classics.
