Graduate Taught
We have a thriving postgraduate community, with 30-40 postgraduate students at any time, with research student projects ranging across the whole field of Greek, Roman and ancient Middle Eastern studies and their reception.
Facilities for postgraduate study are outstanding. We are within walking distance of the British Museum and the British Library. UCL has its own excellent research libraries, and the major libraries of the Institute of Classical Studies, the Warburg Institute, the Institute of Historical Research, and University of London Senate House Library are five minutes away. Our graduate students enjoy dedicated research and social space and IT facilities within the department.
Overseas students can now apply to our MA Programmes up until 28 June and home students until 30 August.
