PhD Digital Classical Studies
In conjunction with the Department of Digital Humanities DDH), we offer a co-supervised doctoral programme in which the student may officially combine digital tools, methods and critical perspectives with research in any of the areas covered by the Department of Classics. Staff of the Department have a long and distinguished history of collaborative involvement with DDH in scholarly projects. Both Greek and Latin philology, lexicography, bibliography, literary and linguistic studies as well as archaeology and art have been involved with digital tools and methods from the 1970s, producing some of the earliest examples of how these tools and methods can aid research. A current PhD student, for example, is working on an analysis of possibilities for a digital critical edition of the Odyssey. Another is working on automated techniques for rendering large amounts of digitized but otherwise unedited secondary literature intelligently accessible.
DDH is an acclaimed world-leader in the digital humanities, its PhD programme the first of its kind and its collaborative research projects among the best.
