Classics Master's in Sweden

Sweden is a very ambitious, eco-friendly, and visionary country. For example, by 2040, it aims to produce all its energy from renewable sources. Universities play an important role in achieving development goals, thanks to their world-class research facilities. If you’re from the EU/EEA, you can study at public universities for free. As a student, you will discover and easily adopt the three main values of Swedish society: freedom, equality, and sustainability. These values are reflected in every aspect of the local society, and you’ll quickly learn to appreciate them. Language barriers are also almost non-existent since around 80% of Swedes speak English.

A Classics degree is dedicated to the study of ancient Greece and Rome, including studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages, philosophy, and archaeology. The programme gives you a well-rounded understanding of these two civilisations that transformed the ancient world. Specialisations in Classics include classical languages, philosophy, literature, art and architecture, and archaeology. Throughout the programme, you will gain proficiency in ancient languages, learn to analyse texts and artefacts, explore ancient philosophy, develop archaeological skills, and acquire advanced research abilities so that you can build a career in academia, archaeology, or cultural institutions.
