Classics at Trinity
The Classics, a World that has Shaped Our Civilisation
Classics at Trinity has a long and distinguished history. The Department of Classics has strengthened this tradition in gaining a leading position both on the island of Ireland and in the wider international context. The aims of the Department are simple: to acquire knowledge and wisdom through research and to develop and disseminate that knowledge and wisdom through teaching and publication.
The Department of Classics is undertaking a programme of expansion to create new posts. Funding is currently being sought for four new posts of strategic importance in the following areas: Greek and Latin Language; Culture and History of the Byzantine Period; Egyptology; Greek Archaelogy and History. Funding is also being sought for five postgraduate scholarships in all fields of Classical study (funding has been secured for one scholarship).
The lectureship in Greek Archaelogy and History has been generously funded by A.G.Leventis Foundation and Andrew A. David Foundation. The University is delighted with their continued support for the Classics at Trinity. The post will be named the Andrew A. David Lectureship in Greek Archaelogy and History in perpetuity.
The Centre for Platonic Studies is very grateful for the funding received from Newman Foundation.
