It studies the surviving works of Greek and Roman literature through approaches drawn from history and philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, cultural studies, and gender studies. The systematic study of texts and their transmission is also supported by specialized disciplines of Classical Studies such as papyrology, epigraphy, and palaeography. Finally, the new and rapidly developing field of Digital Humanities offers innovative interactive tools for understanding and exploring the texts and culture of classical antiquity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Classical Studies are represented by a particularly active academic community both in Greece and abroad, maintaining a strong presence in the curricula of many universities around the world. The Classical Studies Specialization introduces students to the latest international developments in the field of Classical Philology through specialized conferences and seminars organized on a regular basis, research projects, and dedicated laboratories such as the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/mythreligion.philology.upatras.gr\/\"><br \/>\n    Laboratory for the Study of Myth and Religion<br \/>\n  <\/a><br \/>\n  in Greek and Roman Antiquity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Students of the Classical Studies Specialization consistently participate in international academic exchange programmes (Erasmus+, as well as Erasmus+ Placement internships). In addition, a significant percentage of graduates choose to pursue postgraduate studies in Classical Philology either within the Department of Philology of the University of Patras or at other highly regarded universities in Greece and abroad. Finally, the faculty members of the Classical Studies Specialization supervise more than 15 doctoral dissertations in cutting-edge research areas, in collaboration with faculty members from other universities.<\/p>\n<p>\n  <br \/>\n    Graduates of the Classical Studies Specialization have for many years been employed in both public and private education, producing work of high quality. They are also successfully active in the fields of tourism, culture, mass media, publishing, educational consulting, and public relations.\n  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Ancient Greek Philology<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Latin Philology<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Ancient Philosophy<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Ancient Greek History<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Roman History<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Papyrology<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Epigraphy<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  <br \/>\n    Faculty Members of Classical Studies\n<\/p>\n<p>  <!- View not found -><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n  <!- View not found -><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n  <!- View not found -><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n  <!- View not found -><\/p>\n<p>\n  <br \/>\n    Research Projects\n<\/p>\n<p>\n            <strong>Faculty members<\/strong> of the <b>Classical Studies<\/b> Specialization have participated as<br \/>\n            <strong>Principal Investigators<\/strong> in the implementation of the following<br \/>\n            <strong>research projects<\/strong>:\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>K.
