Overview

About the programme

While the emphasis is on your independent research, you will receive guidance from academic supervisors who have expertise in a range of topics in Classical Studies across both local and global contexts, including in Lincoln itself, Britain, Iberia, the Mediterranean world, and the ancient Near East.

The School of Humanities and Heritage at the University of Lincoln brings together academics, archivists, librarians and researchers with interdisciplinary interests in both ancient history/classics and the subsequent interpretation and representation of the classical past. We also have a strong relationship with the wider scholarly and professional community.

As an MPhil/PhD student, you are encouraged to participate in the School of Humanities and Heritage's lively research culture of research seminars, as well as postgraduate forums, social events, and training to support the development of your academic skills.
