Vacant job

The Department of Romance and Classical Studies was formed in August 2013 through a merger of departments. It is organizationally located within the Faculty of Humanities in the field of humanities.

Academic education in classical languages has been offered for a long time at the university. Today, courses in Greek and Latin are offered at both undergraduate and advanced levels. The doctoral programme leads to a PhD degree. The teaching covers texts written from 700 BC to the pre-modern era, and approximately fifty students study classical languages at the department. The teaching is primarily conducted by two senior lecturers and one professor. In addition, scientific research is conducted within the subjects, including linguistics and literary studies, as well as research in philology and text editing. An active research environment with seminars focused on literary studies, linguistics, philosophy, and medieval studies is available.
