During this initial stage before the complete integration of the new plan of degree studies, the official admissions requirement is a bachelor’s degree qualification. Enrolment in the master’s program will also be possible for those students who have successfully completed the mandatory credits in bachelor’s degree studies in those degrees specified by the Master Committee. Special consideration will be given to students with graduate studies in languages with the focus on Classical Philology, Hebrew Philology and Linguistics, Ancient History and Archaeology, and Philosophy and Theology.

Depending on their academic profile, applicants may be required to study train-up credits.

The applicant whose academic profile does not meet the requirements specified above will be considered on the basis of the following criteria: the relevance of his or her academic and professional curriculum to the program objectives and the applicant’s previously completed studies and the qualifications obtained for these; the applicant’s language skill in those languages to be studied in the program; other criteria which will vary according to the circumstances of individual applicants.

The Master Committee may require the applicant to complete an admissions test to evaluate his or her previous studies in different subject areas.

Before beginning the program, the applicant must accredit a level of language skill in the different languages to be studied in the program. Applicants whose language skills are insufficient in any of the languages to be studied in the program will be able to study the program’s following train-up credits:

• the two course units Introduction to Classical Greek I and Introduction to Classical Greek II, for 5 ECTS credits each;
• the two course units Introduction to Classical Latin I and Introduction to Classical Latin II, for 5 ECTS credits each;
• the two course units Hebrew I and Religions of the Ancient East, for 5 ECTS credits each (Semitic languages and the Anatolian languages of the Indo-European language family)

The Master Committee will determine the number of train-up credits that each applicant should study in order to reach an acceptable level of language skill in the languages above, and shall also decide whether he or she should course any further studies before beginning the program.

The Master Committee is formed by the lecturers Ernest Marcos Hierro, Jordi Avilés Zapater, Xavier Riu Camps, Ana Bejarano Escanilla, Adelina Milet Albà and Ignasi-Xavier Adiego Lajara.
