Oudheidstudies

This programme provides comprehensive training covering the entire range of present-day research on the ancient civilisations of Greece and Rome, Egypt and the Near East.

This one-year master's programme is unique in the Netherlands in the breadth of its subject matter, the historical periods covered and its multidisciplinary approach. Its range is wide: from the beginning of history in Egypt and Mesopotamia up to the Medieval texts in Neo-Latin, Coptic or Hebrew. You will focus on reading ancient texts in their original languages, and discuss the different interpretations that the texts allow.

The Leiden programme distinguishes itself by offering expertise in the world of the Hebrew Bible, emerging Christianity, ancient Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Egypt (ancient, antique and late-antique) and Greco-Roman Antiquity, all studied from a multidisciplinary perspective.

Classics and Ancient Civillisations: Assyriology

In this programme you will study the ancient Middle Eastern cultures which used the cuneiform script (invented pre-3000 BC) as a writing system.

Leiden University's Assyriology programmes have gained international recognition and the department's staff is involved in a variety of research projects. During this one-year specialisation, you will have the opportunity to participate in research programmes at a leading international university, including Leuven, Cambridge, Münster and Heidelberg. In Leiden, you will study through the Netherlands Institute for the Near East (NINO), home of a library which has one of the finest collections of books and journals connected with Mesopotamia and Anatolia, as well as a world-class collection of original cuneiform documents from all periods of Mesopotamian history.

Classics and Ancient Civilisations: Classics

This specialisation - taught by internationally renowned staff - ranges from the Greek and Latin languages to studies on ancient history, ancient philosophy, papyrology and neo-Latin.

This one-year programme offers a wide range of specialised courses and research topics tailored to your individual needs. You will gain a comprehensive view of the classical world, while learning to define the significance it still has for modern society. You will benefit from the expertise of three universities, as the Classics programme is organised in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam (VU).

Classics and Ancient Civilisations: Egyptology

This specialisation covers the linguistic and cultural history of Egypt from the Pharaonic times to Graeco-Roman and Coptic Egypt. Part of the curriculum takes place in Egypt.

If you hold a BA in Egyptology you will further deepen the knowledge you gained in your BA study; if your BA degree is in the ancient Mediterranean world, you will follow an introductory programme. This one-year programme is the only one of its kind in the Netherlands. The staff members co-operate with international universities and research institutes on project topics including Egyptian art history, archaeology, religion and Coptic Egypt. All students will visit excavations and research projects in Egypt and will learn about the department's own field and research projects, including excavations at Saqqara and the Dakhla Oasis.

Classics and Ancient Civilisations: Hebrew and Aramaic Languages and Cultures

In this specialisation you will acquire a broad knowledge base of Classical Hebrew and the various Aramaic languages through the course of their 3000-year history.

This programme is taught by Leiden University's Department of Hebrew and Aramaic, which houses the only Chair of both Hebrew and Aramaic in the world. While you have the opportunity to take courses in Modern Hebrew language and literature and contemporary Israeli society, you can also explore various Aramaic languages and literatures, including Syriac, Targumic Aramaic and Imperial Aramaic.
