The specialization in Latin literature gives you a deep knowledge of Latin-language literature and tradition. The studies also have a classic perspective that offers comparisons with ancient Greek-literature.

In addition to courses on the theory of interpretation and narrative, the programme gives you an in-depth knowledge of methods in philology and classical and post-classical texts.

“Latin Literature” is one of thirteen specializations within the Master’s Programme in Literature at the Faculty of the Humanities, and it is offered by the Department of Romance Studies and Classics. The programme starts every autumn and comprises four semesters of full-time study, concluding with a 30-credit degree project in the form of a master’s thesis. As a student, you normally take four half-time courses of 7,5 credits per semester, each half of the semester consisting of two parallel courses. During the second and third semester of the programme, you may take a total of four optional courses (30 credits), of which at least two must be in subjects other than Latin, and two proficiency courses (15 credits).
