Classics research areas

We welcome applications for postgraduate research. Nottingham's Classics Department is very actively engaged in research, and its staff cover a wide range of research specialisms. The Department is also involved with several Research centres: the Centre for Ancient Drama and its Reception (CADRE), the Institute for Study of Slavery (ISOS) and the Centre for Spartan and Peloponnesian Studies (CSPS).

 
Supervision for research leading to a PhD or MPhil can be provided in most areas of Greek and Roman history, society, culture, art and literature. Applications are particularly welcomed in the specialities mentioned in the introduction. Students not wishing to commit themselves to a full research programme can also take a one year full-time or two year part-time MA in Greek and Roman Studies (by research), during which they first attend classes and produce assessed written work in areas relevant to their intended research, and then write a dissertation of about 30,000 words.
