The Classics track is a highly flexible interdisciplinary one-year programme, offering a variety of research-led courses on Greek and Latin literature, language and culture.
You can enter the programme with or without prior knowledge of Greek or Latin, and can tailor your studies to your interests. Specializations include:
- Latin literature (prior Latin needed)
- Greek literature (prior Greek needed)
- Classics and the modern world (prior Greek and/or Latin optional)
- Language consolidation
- Educational MA (prior Greek and Latin needed)
You will write a thesis and take an interdisciplinary course, on the interface of literary studies with ancient history or classical archaeology. You may also integrate ancient history courses and organize a placement.
Our alumni are skilled writers and have an eye for detail as well as the bigger picture. They are sought-after employees in many fields, including education, publishing, the cultural sector, journalism and the government.
The course is taught in English; Dutch-speaking students may produce their written work in Dutch.
The course is also offered on a part-time basis. For information, contact the study advisor (studieadviseur.gltc@rug.nl).

Na de studie
Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt
Following this one-year also does not exclude the option of becoming a teacher of Classics in secondary school; you can obtain a qualification by following the one-year postmaster LHVO at the college of education (NB this postmaster requires a minimum level of proficiency in Dutch: NT2 programme II).
The skill set of a classicist is highly valued elsewhere, too. Typically, our graduates have a keen sense of language, good writing skills, a critical and analytical mind; having been trained to overview an ancient society in its many aspects, you will be able to reflect on culture and society. You can therefore also work in journalism, the cultural sector, publishing or the civil service. Other examples can be found on the website of the study association of Classics in Groningen, Boreas (in Dutch).
