2nd cycle graduates in Classic Studies should possess advanced competences enabling them:
a) To read classics and translate them with awareness, through their direct and consolidated competence in Greek and Latin language;
b) To contextualise classics, applying the methodology of literary analysis, linguistic-philological and historical-archaeological sciences, critically and autonomously analysing the sources;
c) To interpret, through the use of other knowledge and competences, the fortune and reception of classics in the Middle, Modern and Contemporary Age;
d) To have full command of the computer tools for the Humanities and in a European Union language.

During the first course year, students may study in depth and acquire a critical awareness of their core competences, through the study of class specific subjects In the philological, linguistic, literary, historical-archaeological ambits; during the second year, they may complete their education in a more interdisciplinary perspective and prepare the dissertation for the final examination.
