Minor in Greek Studies [30.0]

Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The course aims to give first level students basic university training in the Greek language, literature and civilization in order to add an extra skill to their main course of study. Alongside this primary course orientation, the minor in Greek studies makes it easier for a student without the corresponding baccalaureate to move on to the Masters in ancient languages and literature.
