Entry requirements

Interdepartmental Program in Ancient Mediterranean Art and Archaeology (IPAMAA): most students arrive with undergraduate (sometimes master's) backgrounds in Classics, Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology, Ancient History or Ancient Art History; other backgrounds such as Anthropology or Museum Studies are welcome but need additional preparation in classics and ancient languages. Preference goes to applicants with advanced level in one ancient language and intermediate level in another. The programme admits about three to five students a year and receives up to twenty times as many applications.
