Course content

The bachelor thesis is a written piece of work on a Greek or Latin text either in the original language (Classics), or in translation (Ancient civilization) that is chosen under the guidance of a supervisor. The Classics thesis should include a translation of the text that is chosen. Both theses should make use of the commentary tradition that belongs to the chosen text in question, if it exists.

A final option is the possibility of work experience placement under the guidance of a supervisor.
