Classical (Greek and Roman) Archaeology focuses on the material culture of ancient Greece from the Bronze Age to the end of the Hellenistic period, as well as Iron Age Italy, the Etruscans, and the Roman Republic. The archaeology and culture of the Celts also play an important role in this specialization.

In the BA program, students become familiar with the sculpture, vase painting, and architecture of various periods of ancient Greece, the material culture of Iron Age Italy, Etruscan civilization, and the archaeology of the Roman Republic. In addition, through courses in material studies and auxiliary disciplines, they can gain more in-depth knowledge in specific areas.

The MA program focuses primarily on research issues related to ancient Greek masters, artists, and workshops, as well as Celtic archaeology.

Students in this specialization have the opportunity to participate in the Department's research at the Iron Age and Roman settlement of Bibracte in France, as well as in the excavation of the legionary camp, military town, and civilian settlement of ancient Brigetio.
