Centre For Late Antique Religion & Culture (CLARC)

This centre promotes and supports the study of late antique religion and culture from the late Hellenistic Period to the early Middle Ages, also in relation to earlier and later periods, in particular Classical Antiquity and the modern world.

Academic staff members are experts in Classical and Oriental Languages, History, Archaeology, Philosophy, Theology, Religious Studies, Cultural Studies and Literature.

Postgraduate research students with a wide range of interests take advantage of a unique set of expertise brought together by the Centre.

Staff members, research students and researchers from associated institutions are collaborating on several major research projects.

Postgraduate taught programmes include an MA Religion in Late Antiquity as a route within the MA in Religious and Theological Studies and an MA Archaeology of Late Antiquity offered by the School of History and Archaeology.

A wide range of modules is offered by members of the Centre for Undergraduate teaching.

The classical language programme is a particularly strong area of activity of the centre.
