2 courses offered in the Faculty of Classics
Classics - MPhil
The Classics MPhil is intended to give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in Classical subjects and acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.
Classics - PhD
The PhD is a three to four-year research degree, examined by a thesis of up to 80,000 words. Candidates work independently and closely with their Supervisor, a senior member of the Classics Faculty, and also have an academic advisor. Classes are provided in specialist research skills (e.g., epigraphy, palaeography, numismatics, Linear B and German). When appropriate, students are encouraged to work away from Cambridge, perhaps to undertake fieldwork or study manuscripts in libraries abroad.
