History (Research): Ancient History

Master

Although the main focus of the ResMA Ancient History is on your chosen specialisation, the programme also includes a number of courses which enable you to acquire a better understanding of theories on historical processes, historical debates and methodology of historical research.

In the first semester, you will follow a course in Historical Theory (10 EC) and in the second semester a course in Developing Research Proposals (10 EC). The sequence of the remaining courses -- two Research Seminars (2 x 10 EC), one Literature Seminar (10 EC), 10 EC worth of courses from Research Schools, 20 EC’s worth of Optional Courses, a Tutorial (10 EC) and the Research Master Thesis (30 EC) – can be flexible.

The student must get in touch with the Coordinator of Studies if the student wants advice on the study plan.

Note: starting the Research Master in February means that the programme is followed in a different order. We strongly advise students to set up their study plan in consultation with the Coordinator of Studies before the start of the programme.
