Application procedure

Before applying, write to the member of staff most likely to consider supervising your chosen topic. If your qualifications and provisional topic are suitable, you will be asked to complete an application form and to return it with your MA dissertation and a PhD research proposal of one to two pages. We stress that the suitability of any research proposal depends in large measure on the likelihood of the dissertation being completed within three, or at the most four, years of full-time study or part-time equivalent. Admission to our research programmes will initially be for the MPhil but we expect students to transfer to the PhD after an appropriate period once a review is carried out by the Departmental Postgraduate and Research Committee.

Course detail Description

The Department of Classics currently has expertise in the following areas within this field:

  • Greek literature since the 12th century;

  • Greek history in the 19th and 20th centuries;

  • Byzantine history, archaeology and architechture

  • Cyprus from Late Antiquity to the early modern era

Course study environment

Weekly departmental seminars are held in Modern Greek Studies at which students present their work in progress; though not assessed formally, these seminars require compulsory attendance. Byzantine graduates present their work in intercollegiate meetings at the Institute of Classical Studies, where they also attend a full range of seminars. In addition, the Centre for Hellenic Studies runs weekly seminars on Modern Greek and on Late Antique and Byzantine topics, and several annual lectures in the Byzantine and Modern Greek fields.

Other Schools and institutes of the University offer a wealth of seminars in related fields, and we are committed to sharing in the wider intellectual life of the University, and of other major institutions such as the British Museum. We also co-operate closely with Greek cultural organisations based in London such as the Hellenic Foundation for Culture and the Hellenic Centre.

Regular research seminars for students of modern Greek linguistics are held as part of the Centre for Language, Discourse & Communication (LDC). LDC conducts research in language, communication, society and education, and there are particular strengths in research on 1) the dynamics of language and literacy within globalisation and intercultural contact, and 2) language, literacy and discourse in everyday interaction, education, literature, popular culture, new and mass media, and in medical and workplace settings. Students who undertake an MPhil, PhD study in linguistics with Dr Alexandra Georgakopoulou in BMGS are automatically affiliated with the Centre.
