MA in Aesthetics (Specialisation in Classics)
Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences
A New Chapter in Art and Ideas
This new MA programme invites students to engage deeply with the philosophies and theories of art, combining historical insight with contemporary inquiry. At its core is a robust aesthetics curriculum, guiding students through major stages of philosophical thinking about art, from ancient foundations to today’s critical debates.
Why Classics?
The Classics specialisation focuses on the enduring relevance of ancient art and thought. Students explore:
The artistic heritage of antiquity and the early Middle Ages
How classical art continues to shape culture and aesthetics today
Practical training in archives and museums, along with field trips to historical sites
Seminars, tutorials, and hands-on opportunities create a bridge between theoretical reflection and real-world cultural engagement.
Skills That Endure
This programme is designed not just to inform, but to transform. Through research, writing, and discourse, students develop:
Critical and speculative thinking
Advanced communication and analytical skills
The ability to reflect deeply on art’s place in both past and present societies
Graduates will be well prepared for doctoral studies or careers in education, museums, publishing, and the cultural sector.
If you’ve ever considered returning to Pécs for further study, or if you know someone who’s passionate about classical art and philosophy, we’d love for you to share this news.
