The aim of the BA programme in Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna is for students to acquire a sound basic scientific education, as well as a solid foundation of knowledge about the Greco-Roman world from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity, as well as its continuing significance and contemporary reception up to the present day.

The BA curriculum requires students to collect ETCS points in the following five categories of courses:

I. Foundations (52 ETCS)

II. Practical skills (14 ETCS)

III. Core knowledge (26 ETCS)

IV. Broadening knowledge (12 ETCS)

V. Research-based (16 ETCS)

The list of courses running this semester can be found here. Please register for courses via the course catalogue or via USpace before the specified deadlines.

The current official regulations for BA study can be found here. Older regulations can be found here from 2011, with revisions, and 2008. Potential students interested in learning more about the BA course should see the relevant University page here.

We also welcome students who wish to study Classical Archaeology not as their main subject, but as an extension topic. Information about this option can be found here for Foundation level and Methods level, and the regulations here for both Foundations and Methods levels.
