Postgraduate Research in Classical Studies

The department’s research covers a wide range of topics and showcases the diversity that Classical Studies has to offer. While we are proud of our success in producing research on traditional literary, archaeological and historical topics, we also play a leading role in shaping new or interdisciplinary fields such as digital classics and reception. The department fosters an ambitious and supportive research environment and encourages collaborations within The Open University and beyond.

We offer supervision for part-time and full-time research students and a distance learning programme. You will normally be required to have completed an MA before applying, although other relevant experience will be considered, so please get in touch with us if you think this applies to you.
