The Master in Ancient Languages and Literatures : Classics (60 credits) aims to give an advanced training in Greek and Latin Philology, which focuses on grammer, critical analysis of authors and comparative linguistics and culture.

On completing this master, students :

The programme is made up of :
♦ core courses (40 credits), made up of :
- 25 credits for courses in Greek and Latin language and literature;
- 15 credits for individual final project;
♦ one option (20 credits).

The different paths available to students allow them to shape their own training in line with their skills and interests and, in this way, to have relative autonomy in their training programme. The various different areas of study provide a series of coherent and high quality courses.

♣   Interdisciplinarity is encouraged via the following methods : the student decides which options he will take in the Master (60 credits) (in making this choice, he will be guided by the programme’s  interdisciplinary courses which complement the more philological part of the training).
♣   Variety of teaching methods (including e-learning) : use of multi-media for ancient languages.
♣   Range of learning situations : individual and group work, seminars and lectures. Individual guidance for the individual final project (TFE).

The written and oral exams aim both to measure skills acquired as well as the student's communication skills and know-how. — Some subjects, geared towards helping the student develop skills in research and personal criticism, are subject to presentations and discussions spread out over the year (permanent evaluation).

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.

No Erasmus exchange is planned for the master 60.
Courses in Greek or Latin language and literature can be borrowed from the programme of KULeuven, in line with the UCL-KULeuven agreement.
