Archaeology, History, and Literature of Ancient Greece National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA)

Overview

Students have the opportunity to study the archaeological monuments and the history of Greece. They familiarize themselves with the ancient Greek and Latin languages through the systematic examination of important ancient texts. 

The curriculum includes a number of classes in Modern Greek, offered free of charge to all students during the first year of their studies. The interdisciplinary nature of the Archaeology, History, and Literature of Ancient Greece programme from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA)   allows students to think both critically and imaginatively, write well-structured essays, as well as interpret complex sets of data.

All archaeology classes include field trips to archaeological sites and museums within Athens and its environs; in addition, students are expected to participate in a series of longer field trips around Greece, including the Peloponnese, Central Greece, and the island of Crete. Students are also welcome to attend, on a voluntary basis and subject to their academic schedule, the Departmental Archaeological Excavation at Marathon.
