Introduction
Classics
Attending the Master’s Degree Course in Classics proposed by the University of Siena means studying the ancient world through a multidisciplinary approach, capable of making the student grasp the determinant values of the ancient cultural dimension, with its common traits and no less important differences compared to the modern one. Students will acquire advanced disciplinary and methodological skills not only in the two classical languages, in classical philology and in ancient history, but also in the anthropology of the ancient world, a discipline linked to the “interdepartmental center of anthropology and the ancient world”. Among the other subjects included in the curriculum, there are disciplines that complete the path of the classicist future: papyrology, Greek and Latin paleography, Byzantine civilization, medieval Latin and humanistic literature, the history of ancient philosophy, and classical archeology.

Career Opportunities
In addition to teaching languages and classical literature in high schools (after the “active training internship”) and in universities (after obtaining the title of PhD) other possible employment opportunities are found in the following sectors: institutions and public and private institutions operating in the fields of conservation and enhancement of the Italian cultural heritage; mass communication (journalism, publishing, publications, new media), both in general (newspapers, magazines, multimedia) and specialist (information in the cultural, archaeological, historical, literary fields etc.); companies that organize cultural events of different nature.
Program delivery
In addition to in-presence teaching, which continues to be the preferred method also in the next Academic Year, every single lesson will be simultaneously live-streamed and/or video recorded and uploaded on our digital platform for subsequent viewing. This mode is essential for students who are temporarily unable to be on premises.
