Postgraduate Research
Classics and Ancient History at Exeter takes an interdisciplinary perspective and the department has close links to related fields including history, archaeology, philosophy, visual arts and linguistics. This unusually wide range means that there is very considerable scope for postgraduate supervision.
We offer exceptionally broad expertise across the full range of the traditional fields of classics. There is a vigorous research culture, and the department is rated 5th in the UK for research power in Classics (REF 2021). Our excellent research enhances the experience of our students, and provides a stimulating environment for staff, postgraduates and undergraduate students alike.
Our academics are all active researchers who consistently attract funding from external sources including Leventis, Leverhulme, the Wellcome Trust and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Classics and Ancient History also holds an international conference at least once a year and hosts a wide range of research events, workshops and seminars.
Our wide range of expertise offers postgraduates the possibility of preparing for research degrees in one or more areas. We attach particular importance to the quality of research supervision and training in research methodology and to the integration of our postgraduates into our academic and research community. Scholars of international repute are frequent visitors.
