 Hellenic Studies

Table of Contents

The University of Melbourne is uniquely equipped to offer a comprehensive programme in Hellenic Studies spanning the four millennia of the continuous linguistic and cultural tradition of Hellenism. The major in Hellenic Studies is designed to give a clearer focus to the underlying diachronic unity of the plethora of subjects of Hellenic interest taught within the Faculty of Arts.

 1. Career opportunities

Melbourne claims the largest and most vigorous concentration of Hellenes outside Greece, and by choosing to major in Hellenic Studies graduates will emphasise their capacity to administer knowledgeably to this sizeable community in its diverse manifestations, and to apply skills derived from multidisciplinary study of a rich and distinguished tradition of language and culture, fundamental to Western Civilisation.

 2. Requirements for a major

Any five of the following subjects totalling 83.3 points (Note: Students taking 83.3 points of Modern Greek subjects at SECOND/THIRD-YEAR LEVEL should claim a major in Modern Greek.)
