Overview

Key facts

The Classics programme at the University of Glasgow offers supervision in a range of subject areas related to the research activities and interests of our academic staff. All members of staff are happy to discuss potential research projects at any time.
We have a dedicated postgraduate study space, which makes available an extensive research collection, now augmented by a bequest from the late Professor Douglas MacDowell. Postgraduates of the Classics at University of Glasgow play a full role in the research culture of the subject, with a regular programme of seminars, workshops and reading groups.
Resources
Teaching and research in the Arts and Humanities is supported by the outstanding resources of our University Library with its special collections and our on-campus Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.
Our close links and partnerships with Glasgow Life, and the city’s many museums, art galleries, performing arts and music venues, international festivals and creative industry organisations make the University of Glasgow the ideal place for postgraduate study of the arts.
