INFORMATION about the Department of Classics, University College Dublin
The Classics Department is one of the largest and most active in the
Faculty of Arts. We offer joint Honours courses in Greek, Latin, and
Greek and Roman Civilization and a single honours degree in Classical
Studies. Most students take the course in Greek and Roman Civilization
which is based on the extensive examination of texts and sources in
translation. This course embraces major topics in archaeology, history,
literature and philosophy. A single honours course in Classical Studies,
which was introduced in October 1994, offers the opportunity to begin
the study of Latin or Greek in the second year. It is also possible to
begin Greek or Latin as separate subjects in the first year.
There is a strong interest in Late Antiquity in the Department. 'The End
of the Ancient World' and 'The philosophy of Plotinus' are third year
special subjects. Neoplatonism is also offered as a subject for the
MPhil degree and a number of students have completed MLitt and MPhil
degrees on these areas.
There is a thriving and expanding postgraduate sector of over
twenty-five students. Most postgraduates act as tutors and also take
part in a joint postgraduate seminar with Trinity College.
RESEARCH FACILITIES
There is a MacIIsi system equipped to run the TLG and PHI data base
discs within the Department itself and each staff member is equipped
with a Mac connected to a Departmental network from which it is also
possible to access local and international library catalogues and other
data bases through the college network.
The College Library has a good collection of recent periodicals and
books on classical subjects. There is also a reciprocal access agreement
with the Library of Trinity College Dublin (copyright library). The
library of the Royal Irish Academy and the National Library of Ireland
also have valuable holdings.
The Department possesses a fine Classical Museum which was established
by Professor Henry Browne during his tenure of the Greek Chair
(1909-1922). It contains a good representative collection of Greek and
Roman pottery, inscriptions, coins and miscellaneous material. It is
used extensively in the teaching programme and is visited by students of
other Colleges, school parties and visiting scholars. A development plan
looks to the appointment of a curator and a publication programme.
There are very close contacts with the Classics Departments of Trinity
College Dublin and St. Patrick's College Maynooth. Twice yearly the
Classics staff of the Dublin Colleges, Cork, Galway and the Queen's
University of Belfast meet to read papers at Maynooth.
