Overview

Greek linguistics: Students learn about the history of the Greek language with the help of comparative linguistic methods, about the phonetic system and the evolution of phonetic rules, about the attested stages of Greek: the Mycenaean linguistic form, the dialects of the historical period, the characteristics of literary language and its variants.

Greek literary studies: Independent reading in the source language enables students to become familiar with the most important works. Independent reading cannot be substituted with courses or lectures.

Greek culture: Literary texts are an important source of cultural history.

Key Features

At the beginning of the Greek (Classical Philology) programme at the Heidelberg University, translation assignments into and out of Greek will allow students to review and consolidate basic language and grammar skills.

Over the course of studies, in addition to translation exercises involving increasingly complex texts, seminars and lectures will allow students to gain analytical and interpretive skills. Following completion of the introductory modules, students may also select a specialisation from the areas of either Greek literature or Greek linguistics.
