Classics
Staff

In recent years Classics at Edinburgh has been revitalised with the appointments of many new members of teaching staff, all of whom are active researchers and experts in their fields of study.

At Edinburgh you will receive the very finest teaching in Classics, either in the traditional form of lectures, seminars, and tutorials or in more diverse teaching techniques involving the internet, Classics’ own collection of Greco-Roman sculpture casts, or museum- and site-visits. Whatever the method of teaching employed, you are guaranteed to be taught by a team of internationally renowned experts who are active within their various and diverse disciplines within Classics and regularly publish their latest research. In fact, research-led teaching is an important aspect of the learning experience in Classics in Edinburgh.
