Program Overview

The University of Glasgow's Masters in Ancient Cultures offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the ancient world, from the Near-East to North-Western Europe. Through core courses and optional modules in Classics, Archaeology, Egyptology, Celtic and Gaelic, and Theology and Religious Studies, students develop research skills and expertise in ancient history, preparing them for careers in heritage, research, or the cultural sector. The program emphasizes hands-on learning with ancient objects from the Hunterian Museum and Kelvin Hall, and culminates in a dissertation on a chosen area of ancient history.
