Location of Leiden University
This programme offers comprehensive training covering the entire range of present-day research on the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome, Egypt and the Near East.
This one-year master's programme is unique in the breadth of its subject matter, the historical periods covered and its multidisciplinary approach. Its range is wide: from the beginning of history in Egypt and Mesopotamia up to the Medieval texts in Neo-Latin, Coptic or Hebrew. As a student, you will focus on reading ancient texts in their original languages, and discuss the different interpretations that the texts allow. The Leiden programme distinguishes itself by offering expertise in the world of the Hebrew Bible, emerging Christianity, ancient Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Egypt (ancient, antique and late-antique) and Greco-Roman Antiquity, all studied from a multidisciplinary perspective.
