Greek and Chinese Civilizations: A Comparative Approach

This is the first Master Program worldwide that cultivates the comparative approach to the Ancient Greek and Chinese Civilizations and the only one that combines one year of studies in China and one year of studies in Europe.
The Program is geared towards providing you with solid and deep knowledge in both the Ancient Greek and the Chinese civilizations from a comparative perspective and towards preparing you for higher research in the field.

Holders of a relevant first-cycle degree (philosophy, history, history of science, classical studies, archaeology, etc) from a Greek university or equivalent foreign institution are eligible for admission to the program.
For non-Chinese students, command of the English language shall be certified by a specific score in one of the international tests of English language proficiency (for instance, TOEFL, IELS or ΙΒΤ).
For Chinese students, command of the English language shall be certified by either the international English proficiency test, or a joint English Proficiency Interview organized by the Committee.
For Chinese students who have succeeded in the National Graduate Entrance Examination, no further certification is required.
The Courses of the 1st year of studies will be held at Southwest University, China. The Courses of the 2nd year of studies will be held at the University of Patras, Greece.

The Master’s Program will have two points of entry: prospective students may apply either to the University of Patras or to Southwest University. Admission shall in each case be subject to the regulations of Master’s Studies in Greece and China, respectively.
