• Students of Classical Archaeology engage with an entire range of material culture, art works, and contextual aspects of social environments, as well as with cultural-historical phenomena and questions. All of these topics reveal the particular challenge as well as the particular potential of classical archaeology: Connecting the work done with objects and findings to ambitious historical, cultural-anthropological, and visual cultural lines of inquiry. 
  • Graduates of this consecutive Master’s degree programme will have received an education that ranges from broad-based knowledge in the collection of material remains from ancient cultures to in-depth applied skills in the most essential archaeological methods. They will also be equipped to make flexible use of these methods and to combine them with procedures from other disciplines in the development of solution-oriented approaches to problems.
  • The overriding objective of the degree programme is to provide graduates with the qualifications needed to obtain research-related positions in ancient history studies or museum studies or to enable them to pursue a further academic degree (doctorate).
