Get acquainted with a new world

So you’ve graduated from Ancient Studies—now what? Most Bachelor’s graduates choose to continue their studies, but you can also work in a range of different positions.

Cultural and societal questions are impacting our community more and more and demand new points of view. The political sphere, the business sphere and the public sector all have a great need for critical long-term perspectives on cultural matters in and around Europe. 

The interdisciplinary programme in Ancient Studies forms an excellent preparation for a career in managerial, cultural and educational positions that deal with such matters.

You can also opt to pursue academic research as a career.
