The MSc by Research in Classics is aimed at students who have a specific topic of interest into which they wish to conduct their own research. The programme provides structured research training while at the same time enabling you to pursue a research project that you design yourself, in consultation with supervisors. It serves as both a self-contained research degree and a preparation for further study for the PhD degree. Classics at Edinburgh continues a tradition that goes back to the University's foundation in 1583. We now boast one of the most significant clusters of scholars in the United Kingdom working in all the areas of the discipline. We are happy to supervise across the full range of our research interests in: Greek and Latin language, literature and thought; Greek and Roman history from classical Greece to late antiquity; classical Greek and Roman art and archaeology. We are able to supervise in related areas such as Persian history and reception studies.
