Welcome to the Department of Classics and Archaeology
The Department offers B.A. and B.A.(Hons.) M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees both in Archaeology and in Classics.
Archaeology can be taken as a main area of
study. The Programme is intended to provide students with as broad a base
for this discipline as possible. The programme consists of a number of
compulsory study units, including an introductory unit and a series of
other study units covering as much as possible of the chronological divisions
of central and eastern Mediterranean archaeology. These are followed by
other study units focussing on Maltese archaeology in the same periods.
Other units are concerned with aspects closely related to Archaeology,
such as principles of Conservation and Scientific contributions to the
discipline. Students are also recommended to take part in the Department's
excavations.
Classics may be taken either as a main or
as a secondary area of study. The Latin and Greek languages and literature
are studied. The programme is divided into two streams of courses intended
to cater for students who join the Programme with an "A" or "O" level in
Latin and Greek (Stream A), and others with no specific qualification at
all (Stream B). Courses on various aspects of the Classical world are also
offered.
