Ancient Civilization Studies

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) – 2 field degree program - Major Field

On the Ancient Civilization Studies degree program you will seek out traces of European cultures in antiquity. By studying primary sources in ancient Greek and Latin and examining historic artifacts, you will develop extensive expertise in Greek and Roman ancient history:

How did the Roman state function? To what extent do the Homeric epics reflect the culture of the ancient Greeks? What distinguishes the current methods of Christian and classical archaeology? With a broad interdisciplinary range and a wide variety of lectures, seminars and excursions, the University of Freiburg offers you the opportunity to get to the roots of these and other questions.

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs⁴⁵ (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau⁴⁶ [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

Application for participation in the lottery procedure must be made online and separately for each degree programme to which admission is sought. The application period for the winter semester is from 1 September to 30 September and for the summer semester from 1 March to 31 March.
