OBJECTIVES:

This Master’s Degree provides a new teaching and research framework that integrates different areas of knowledge, being their common feature the study of the classical World, its languages and its survival through time. The goals of this Master’s Degree are::

• to train secondary education teachers so that they become competent to teach Classical Culture, Latin, Greek and other humanities disciplines of the Mandatory Secondary Education (ESO) and the Non-Mandatory Higher Secondary Education (Bachillerato).

COURSE SCHEME:
60 ECTS credits

Compulsory credit module: 30 ECTS, that include the 12 credits of the Master’s final project. All students must take 12 ECTS of the first language (Greek or Latin) and its literature (Linguistic Analysis of Greek Texts or Linguistic Analysis of Latin Texts [6 ECTS] + Literary Analysis of Greek Texts or Literary Analysis of Latin Texts [6 ECTS]). Through the elective courses, the Master’s Degree allows the students to focus exclusively on one of these languages or to complete their training in the second language.

Elective credit module: 30 ECTS
Fields: I. Interlinguistic Studies. II. Classical Literature Studies. III. Classical Languages: synchronic and diachronic studies. IV. Tradition and Survival of the Classical Culture. Students will be able to choose, among the optional credits, those that best fit their interests; this allows the students to focus on a linguistic or literary specialization and, at the same time, to specialize in Greek or Latin. In this way, the Master’s program offers enough flexibility to satisfy a wide range of interests and preferences and enables the students to shape their own itinerary.

From the 30 elective ECTS, the students will be able to take a maximum of 12 in other programs. It is highly recommended to choose courses belonging to related official master’s programs, such as History and Sciences of the Antiquity, Archaeology and Heritage.

European Summer School in Epigraphy - Poitiers (ESSEP) is an Erasmus Intensive Programme which offers European students in ancient and medieval epigraphy the opportunity to learn from specialists of different periods and geographical areas, through a multicultural, multi-period perspective. This discipline, which studies the inscriptions or texts found on monuments or portable objects, is usually never taught this way in a European setting.

Some of the departments of the Madrilenian universities involved in the Inter-university Master's Degree in Classical Philology take part in this Erasmus Programme, along with other European universities (such as Heidelberg, Newcastle, Helsinki, Athens, Venice or Warsaw). Five registered students in this Master Degree (year 2010-2011) will go to Poitiers this summer (2011).

This programme is also available for year 2011-2012.
