Classical archaeology deals with the sites, artwork, and objects from the Greek and Roman cultures (about 1500 BC to 500 AD). This master’s program teaches comprehensive expert knowledge, visual and media competence, the ability to reconstruct, academic working methods, and methodological and analytical skills. This program offers students the oppotunity to select special foci and acquire communicative competencies and foreign language skills while spending time abroad.
