- Papyrology
- Ancient Science
- Linguistics
We are particularly proud of our large and vigorous community of international students; our research fellows and permanent staff; our inclusiveness; our weekly departmental lunch; our lively and sociable weekly research seminar; our international conferences; and the high quality and exceptional delivery of our postgraduate programmes.
