Programme description

As part of the study programme, students acquire basic knowledge in the field of Greek language, literature and culture on a scale comparable to the programmes of Greek, classical philology or ancient studies at most European universities. They acquire the general competences of a humanistic intellectual as well as specific professional competences: mastering the Greek language with the ability to read more difficult texts in the original, understanding the history of Greek and its influence on modern languages, knowledge of Greek literature and culture, understanding the role played by ancient and later Greek literature and philosophy in European literature and culture from early humanism to the present. Graduates are familiar with the methods of philological analysis of texts and are able to understand and interpret individual literary and professional works in a historical context.They are able to use primary and secondary literature and professional manuals. They have the basic knowledge for independent work in the fields of research, literary translation, journalism, publishing, archival studies and other fields that require thorough and accurate work with text, and may also participate in related fields where a thorough knowledge of Greek and a basic knowledge of Latin are indispensable: archaeology and museology, history, art history, linguistics and literary studies.

Description of quality assurance obligations of the programme / institution

The system of quality at the University of Ljubljana (UL) is founded on valid standards, regulations and recommendations from the authorities responsible for ensuring the quality of higher education on the national and international levels. In accordance with the established standards, systems of quality are based on a closed feedback loop, with clear processes of identifying objectives and priorities, planning measures and operation, implementing planned activities and monitoring and evaluating activities and measures implemented, including an assessment of the effects, which serves as input information for a new cycle of planning.

With the aim of monitoring and improving the quality of study programmes, regular self-evaluation is carried out for each active study programme. Self-evaluation of study programmes serves to ensure the quality of programme provision, and to monitor the current relevance and sustainability of the individual study programme.
