About the programme

Programme description

Kultura klasyczna to nowoczesny, elitarny oraz interdyscyplinarny kierunek badawczy II stopnia silnie powiązany z koncepcją umiędzynarodowienia UAM. Kształcenie na nowym kierunku wynika bezpośrednio z międzynarodowych umów podpisanych przez UAM z uniwersytetami członkowskimi konsorcjum European Master in Classical Cultures (dalej EMCC), jest również powiązane z konsorcjum EPICUR. Dzięki modułowemu i niezwykle elastycznemu, planowi zajęć, student otrzymuje możliwość wyboru i dopasowania zajęć zgodnie z zainteresowaniami naukowymi. Wybór następuje w porozumieniu z mentorem na zasadzie tutoringu, tak ażeby student mógł zbudować własną ścieżkę rozwoju, zgodną z zainteresowaniami badawczymi, w ramach modułów przedmiotowych. Fundamentem zajęć są te oferowane w ramach planów Wydziału Historii oraz Instytutu Filologii Klasycznej. Kierunek jest silnie powiązany z badaniami prowadzonymi w obu jednostkach, a studenci mają możliwość starania się o granty tak wydziałowe, jak i w ramach UAM. Dzięki przypisaniu kultury klasycznej do konsorcjum EMCC, studenci uzyskują możliwość starania się o drugi dyplom na jednym z partnerskich uniwersytetów. Kierunek kultura klasyczna umożliwia kształcenie humanistów o szerokich horyzontach naukowych, gotowych do podejmowania działań w interdyscyplinarnych zespołach badawczych i przygotowanych na wyzwania współczesnego rynku pracy.
