Study the oldest discipline in the humanities at UNB, a friendly campus with small class sizes and dedicated professors. Our students work closely with faculty to tailor a personalized course of study that provides a strong basis for entry into leading PhD programs and professional schools. Many Classics and Ancient History graduates go on to make history themselves. The program in Classics benefits from the work of the Centre for Hellenic Studies, which was established in 2007 and is the first of its kind in the Atlantic region and one of a very small number across Canada. The purpose of the Centre is to foster an understanding and appreciation of the impact of Hellenic culture and language on contemporary life across such diverse areas as art, architecture, politics, philosophy, religion, social sciences, law, medicine, and the sciences.

International applicants who are applying from outside Canada should apply at least six months in advance of the intended start date to be sure to have all permits processed before their programs are scheduled to begin. Applicants should hold an honours, majors or equivalent undergraduate degree in Latin, Greek or Classics with a minimum 3.0 (B) average.

Applicants should have at least 18 credits or equivalent in either Greek or Latin, but there are accommodations for students without the complete language requirements. Applicants are required to submit an application, a one-page statement of interest and a writing sample (e.g., undergraduate paper). International Applicants whose first language is not English must submit language scores that meet or exceed international English language testing system (IELTS) band 7.
