In 2009 the Department of Italian Language and Literature initiated a Postgraduate Program of Study under the title “Greek - Roman – Greek - Italian Studies: Literature, History and Civilization”. The program has been reformed in 2018 (University Senate approval no. 745/8-6-2018) and is currently offered under the title “Greek - Italian Studies: History, Literature, Classical Tradition”.
The aim of the Postgraduate Program is to provide specialized academic instruction and to encourage scientific research in the fields of Greek-Italian and Greek-Roman studies. Successful completion of the program’s requirements leads to a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) in “Greek - Italian Studies: History, Literature, Classical Tradition”.
The Postgraduate Program of Study is offered tuition-free. It requires three semesters of graduate coursework. A fourth semester is dedicated to research and writing of the M.A. Thesis.
