PhD in Classics
University of Cambridge · Cambridge, United Kingdom
About this programme
The PhD is a three to four-year research degree, examined by a thesis of up to 80,000 words. Candidates work independently and closely with their Supervisor, a senior member of the Classics Faculty, and also have an academic advisor. Classes are provided in specialist research skills (e.g., epigraphy, palaeography, numismatics, Linear B and German). When appropriate, students are encouraged to work away from Cambridge, perhaps to undertake fieldwork or study manuscripts in libraries abroad. Doctoral students spend most of their time working independently, researching their own specialist topic
