Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Classics is a one-year, full-time credential offered by Memorial University's Department of Classics for students seeking additional academic standing at the graduate level, distinct from the department's master's programme, without committing to a full master's degree. Study areas include Roman literary and cultural studies, Greek literature and historiography, and the relationship between literary texts and material culture. It is delivered on the St. John's campus in Newfoundland and Labrador, with a single intake each fall and an application deadline of January 31. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in an appropriate area of study, prior study of basic grammar in Latin and/or ancient Greek, a demonstrated ability to read and translate ancient texts through undergraduate coursework, and a written sample of scholarly work.
