In October, the University of Warsaw will start a new M.A.-level programme “History of Ancient Mediterranean Civlizations” (taught in English) and will be happy to accept up to 25 M.A. students.

 The registration will begin on 5 June. More info on the website: https://historia.uw.edu.pl/hamc_en

Some essential information:

The curriculum is based on history (70%), archaeology (20%) and studies on culture and religion (10%).

We also offer general education classes on the ancient world. The obligatory canon of knowledge (e.g., history, ancient literature and philosophy) has the possibility of broadening individual interests through the addition of modules on early Christianity and literature, ancient Judaism, history of women, history of ancient slavery and discriminated groups, and the plurality of legal systems among other topics.

The offer includes workshops that develop research competencies, such as reading groups and the intensive, practical course of an ancient language (e.g., Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Akkadian, Coptic or Hebrew – 4 hours per week) to enable students to read and interpret ancient sources in their original languages. Students will also choose from a wide variety of courses such as epigraphy, papyrology, numismatics, ancient historiography, the interpretation of cuneiform texts or specialized classes in source criticism or the editing of ancient texts.

An additional module focuses on developing competences in digital humanities and academic writing. The module includes diverse workshops on the use of digital tools for text processing, in particular the editing and data processing used in the work of historians, papyrologists, epigraphers and numismatists.

A distinctive feature of this programme is the field training: not only practical geodata collection, but also an engrossing, Mediterranean tour, funded by the Faculty.
