With the MA by Research (MAR), you'll undertake an independent research project that delivers profound insights into your selected field. You'll receive guidance from a team of academic supervisors, recognized as top experts in their disciplines, participate in research training workshops, and maintain scheduled consultations with your advisors. The MAR serves as excellent groundwork for pursuing a PhD, as it's purely research-focused without mandatory coursework. As a premier UK institution for language and cultural studies, we provide diverse MAR possibilities.
Classics has been integral to the University of Leeds since its establishment in 1904, when the first professorships in Latin and Greek were introduced. While maintaining our foundational strengths in classical languages, literature, and history, we've expanded into innovative research areas that create exceptional MAR prospects for students.
