Master of Philosophy (Classics)
Course Overview
The approach to the ancient world is multidisciplinary, and is intended to provide perspectives on the role played by the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome on the development of the modern world. Subjects covered include the social and political life of ancient societies, classical literature and mythology, and its reception, as well as a limited amount of archaeology, with an emphasis on the shape of urban life. The discipline subscribes to the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens and keeps abreast of contemporary developments in the archaeological field internationally.
