Classical Philology

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


Ancient history is still everywhere around us, even if we don’t always notice it at first. We discuss “democracy”, read “poetry” or a “satire” and at quizzes are often asked about mythological figures such as “Zeus” or “Venus”. Drawing on ancient literature your future Greek or Latin studies will take you to the sources of these and many other concepts, terms and figures. It lets us see ancient history as the “adjacent stranger” (cit. Uvo Hölscher) of modern European culture, that is, as close enough to be relevant, but alien enough to challenge our way of thinking. If you have a literary interest and want to learn more about the foundations of European culture, take a closer look at the Bachelor degree in Classical Philology.

The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (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 Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
