Bachelor in Altertumswissenschaften.Html

Learning Latin and Greek isn't just about mastering ancient languages. In the Altertumswissenschaften programme, you'll explore texts like Homer's epics, which date back to the 8th century BC, alongside material evidence from the ancient world. The Saarland campus, located in the heart of former Gallia, offers a rich archaeological landscape, with artifacts from both the Celtic and Roman periods.

The curriculum is structured around four key disciplines: Ancient History, Classical Archaeology, Classical Philology, and Pre- and Protohistory. You'll delve into the Greek and Roman Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the late Antiquity, focusing on literary and material remnants. This includes everything from the Homeric epics to the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of the Byzantine Empire. The programme is further enriched by practical experiences, such as excavation work and museum visits, which provide hands-on learning opportunities. For those interested in the broader European context, the Pre- and Protohistory module offers insights into societies that lacked written records, using artifacts to understand economic, social, and cultural aspects of these early civilizations. By the end of this programme, you'll have a well-rounded understanding of the ancient world, prepared for various career paths in fields like museum work, cultural tourism, and education.
