In the modular two-subject Bachelor’s degree program, Greek Philology can be studied as a

• first subject (90 ETCS credits plus Bachelor’s thesis)
• a second subject (70 ETCS credits)

in combination with a further subject that is offered as part of the two-subject Bachelor’s degree program.

During the first two semesters, students acquire language skills in Ancient Greek equivalent to the level of the “Graecum”. This involves a course taken during both the first and second semester for 6 hours each week (6 semester hours). Students who can prove proficiency equivalent to the “Graecum” take the other two compulsory elective modules III and IV. The “Graecum” modules and compulsory elective modules III and IV are required for passing what is known as the Grundlagen- und Orientierungsprüfung (GOP) that should be completed by the end of the second semester and must have been completed by the end of the third semester. Examinations for the GOP may only be repeated once.

The general requirements for studying Greek Philology are as follows:

• A profound interest in the Greek language, literature and culture
• A willingness to work scientifically and methodically
• Abroad interest in history, also in European cultural traditions as a whole.

Good English proficiency is also required.
