I particularly like the Antiquity^plus profile, for example because of the option to include journalism modules – after all, academic writing and publishing are part of an archaeologist's professional life. Furthermore, I find integrated Latin courses that can be credited to modules much more motivating in view of the amount of work involved. The degree program offers a new range of subjects and thus allows a targeted focus on different aspects of the profession.

When I first heard about the idea of a combined degree course in Classical Philology, Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, I was thrilled. Antiquity^plus enables an all-encompassing study of antiquity from several perspectives, as each subject contributes its own approaches and methods. I think this is particularly…

When I first heard about the idea of a combined degree course in Classical Philology, Classical Archaeology and Ancient History, I was thrilled. Antiquity^plus enables an all-encompassing study of antiquity from several perspectives, as each subject contributes its own approaches and methods. I think this is particularly good for a Bachelor’s degree program, as it lays the foundations on which you can later build when specializing in the subsequent Master’s degree program.

I also studied the three disciplines involved in the Antiquityᵖˡᵘˢ profile at the KU and can only recommend it, not only because I found a niche in which there is virtually no competition: You study the subject and understand antiquity in its entirety. As I work as a self-employed project manager and editor in the private sector, I also feel that looking beyond your horizons in the required elective area is the best way to gain advantages for your future career.

After more than eight years in permanent employment with renowned publishing houses (including Reclam), I have now been self-employed for eight years. I edit textbooks, non-fiction books, guidebooks, bilingual editions (Latin-German) and much more, but my publishing experience is also broad enough to work on other non-fiction topics. As a substitute for publishing experience, insights into journalism studies, as are now possible in the new program profile, would have been an important kick-start for me.

Merging the three subjects – Classical Archaeology, Ancient History and Classical Philology – to form the profile in Antiquityᵖˡᵘˢ makes sense both in terms of content and for interdisciplinary issues; it thus allows a comprehensive understanding of antiquity.

Merging the three subjects – Classical Archaeology, Ancient History and Classical Philology – to form the profile in Antiquityᵖˡᵘˢ makes sense both in terms of content and for interdisciplinary issues; it thus allows a comprehensive understanding of antiquity. A joint degree program also makes it much easier to study ancient studies because the courses are coordinated. In my opinion, the variety and interdisciplinarity of the degree program opens up an expanded professional field, especially internationally (and in particular in the UK and the USA).

I completed my studies and doctorate mainly in Eichstätt: Classical Archaeology and Ancient History as well as Bavarian Regional History. In my day-to-day work as museum director of the LIMESEUM at the Limes fort in Ruffenhofen, I constantly see how important it is for the three main ancient sciences – archaeology, ancient history and classical philology – to work together. The practical relevance in particular is likely to have a beneficial effect on my future career. I am convinced that the degree program in Antiquityᵖˡᵘˢ will do a lot to help graduates find their place in a job market that is not always easy.

We have employees with this qualification profile working in various areas of our company, especially as these colleagues can be deployed in a variety of ways with their broader horizons, creativity, linguistic skills and independent approach to complex issues, enriching our very professionally driven working environment with their 'somewhat different' perspective.
