FACULTY OF CLASSICS
Sklgwlck Site, Sidgwkk Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 9DA
Cambridge is one of the world’s foremost centres of classical research. Supervision is available by leading scholars in all the main areas of classical studies. The Faculty building is among the largest and best equipped in the world, including its own library, seminar rooms, museum (with sculpture gallery), computing facilities, common rooms, and epigraphic and palaeographic collections.
Regular graduate seminars are held in Greek and Latin literature, ancient philosophy, ancient history, classical archaeology, Mycenaean epigraphy, classical linguistics and philology, and interdisciplinary aspects of the ancient world. It is normal for graduates to play an active part in these. They may also attend classes and lectures from the undergraduate teaching programme. For the one-year M.Phil, course, further special seminars and supervisions are arranged. For the Ph.D. Degree there are no formal coursework requirements, and the principal concern of any graduate student is supervised preparation of the 80,000 word (max.) Ph.D. thesis.
The Classical Faculty Library is an excellent base for research. Its large collection includes a comprehensive range of texts, editions, periodicals and standard works of reference, as well as outstanding specialist collections in such areas as archaeology and palaeography. The nearby University Library, with its exceptionally rich classical holdings, fills virtually any remaining needs.
The Faculty offers financial aid to graduate students for travel to classical lands, research expenses, and attendance at conferences and seminars outside Cambridge.
Further information about graduate studies may be obtained by writing to the Graduate Advisor, Faculty of Classics.
Closing dates for receipt of application forms by the Board of Graduate Studies for admission in October: 31 January for candidates applying for AHRB awards; 31 March for all others. Please contact the Faculty if you will have difficulty meeting either of these deadlines.
One year courses offered by this Faculty: M.Phil. Degrees
