Course summary

There are a number of attractions to studying for a postgraduate degree in Classics at Glasgow, from the very well-stocked University Library, to the Hunterian Museum (with its notably fine coin collection), to a major centre in humanities computing.

Overview

We offer supervision in a range of subject areas related to the research activities and interests of our academic staff. All members of staff are happy to discuss potential research projects at any time.

We have a dedicated postgraduate study space, which makes available an extensive research collection, now augmented by a bequest from the late Professor Douglas MacDowell. Postgraduates play a full role in the research culture of the subject, with a regular programme of seminars, workshops and reading groups.

Recent topics have included studies of:

  • religion and politics in the Roman Republic
  • the politics of Ostrogothic Italy
  • the modern reception of Greek tragedy
  • Greek medicine
  • masculinity and the classical monster
  • the construction of the hoplite
  • Roman eschatology
  • Greek and Roman numismatics (in conjunction with The Hunterian, our University museum and art gallery).

Thesis length: 70,000-100,000 words, including references, bibliography and appendices (other than documentary appendices).

A Doctor of Philosophy may be awarded to a student whose thesis is an original work making a significant contribution to knowledge in, or understanding of, a field of study and normally containing material worthy of publication.
