Your future employers will not only be interested in your knowledge of Classics and Ancient Civilisations, but also in the skills that you have developed during your studies. Therefore, it is important that you are aware of the skills that you are training in your MA programme.

You will be training the following transferrable skills:

critical thinking (formulating questions, checking assumptions, assessing sources and scholarship)
analytical skills (selecting, ordering, sorting out, and solving a problem)
oral presentation skills (speaking, listening, discussing, receiving feedback)
writing skills (reporting, summarizing, presenting an argument, with structure and style)
independence (self-discipline, initiative, motivation)
project management (planning, demarcation of a topic, discipline, meeting deadlines)
flexibility (adapting to changes)
creativity (curiosity, developing new ideas and innovative topics)
academic integrity (acting with honesty, fairness, and responsibility)
collaboration (working together with other students on a joint project)
