Study-related information
- Parts of the final state examination and its contentThe state final examination consists of an examination and a defence of the bachelor thesis. The defence of the bachelor thesis is oral and consists of a short presentation of the thesis, a response to the opinions of the opponents and a discussion.
The examination is written and oral.
The written part tests the ability to translate a coherent Ancient Greek text using a dictionary and to apply practically the knowledge of Greek morphology and syntax learnt in the courses in Greek grammar and syntax.
The oral part tests the student's competencies necessary to read, translate, analyse and interpret ancient Greek texts using texts from Plato and Sophocles. The examination also tests knowledge of the development of Greek literature and a basic understanding of its influence on Roman literature, knowledge of the most important works of ancient literature on the basis of own reading in translation and in original, and a basic familiarity with the historical and social context of the ancient world. Basic knowledge of the methodological procedures applied in classical philology is also an integral part of the examination. The oral examination is linked to the courses Greek Proseminar: Sophocles, Greek Proseminar: Plato Ancient Greek Literature: from Homer to Euripides, Ancient Greek Literature: Attic Prose and the Hellenistic Period and Introduction to the Study of Classical Philology.
