Master in Ancient Languages and Literatures: Classics [120.0] - CLAS2M

At the end of the second level, the student will have undertaken training in the two classical languages (core courses: 60 credits), whilst benefiting from a more thorough specialisation in Greek or Latin (option A: 15 credits) or in a connected field to 'science of antiquity' (option B: 15 credits).

Linguistically, the course focuses on the scientific study of the history of classical languages and how they work, without forgetting the assiduous practice of translation work, thematic work and cursive reading. The authors' commentary includes all of the tools used in philological analysis (grammar, textual criticism and the study of sources, survival ), but also modern literary analysis methods (intertextuality, narratology).

The programme provides a choice between several types of focus (30 credits): research focus ; teaching focus (with extra training : option B); professional focus in library studies (with extra training : option B) and in natural language processing(with extra training : option B); professional focuses in Greek culture / Latin culture help the student acquire expertise in the changes in classical languages and civilisations, from the late antiquity to modern times.

The programme is made up of :
 ♦ core courses (60 credits), made up of :
- 30 course credits in Greek and Latin language and literature;
- 28 dissertation credits and 2 credits for the accompanying seminar;
 ♦ one focus (30 credits);
 ♦ two options of 15 credits, at least one from list A.

Further Studies
at the end of the master 120, each focus in the Master in Ancient Languages and Literature: Classics, can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only.
