Overview

Classics offer supervision in a range of subject areas related to the research activities and interests of our academic staff. Staff members would be delighted to supervise in any of the areas where they have research interests: these are described on their individual web pages. 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 play a full role in the research culture of the subject, with a regular programme of seminars, workshops and reading groups.

A Classic phd programme at University of Glasgow may be awarded to a student whose thesis is an original work making a significant contribution to knowledge in, or understanding of, a field of study and normally containing material worthy of publication.
