Professor Ioannis Taifacos
Head of the Department
The mission of the Department of Classics and Philosophy is to improve the lives and the planning for personal career of its students, personnel and the larger community, by providing superior learning and research opportunities in Classical Studies (and related areas) and Philosophy by offering programmes with increasingly interdisciplinary character.
Our students are highly motivated young Cypriots and foreigners who wish to broaden their horizon during their studies, while learning basic theoretical issues related to the disciplines, and exploring research methods leading to a Degree in Classics or to a Degree in Philosophy. Graduates may pursue careers in public or private education, in administration, in the public sector, or in private. They may also undertake postgraduate study with a view to further specialization.
Apart from the above two programmes of study, the Department offers postgraduate courses in Classics as well as a Minor in Ancient Greek Philology and a Minor in Philosophy.
Research and international scholarly cooperation are highly prioritized at the Department of Classics and Philosophy. Its connections with universities and research centres abroad contribute to its reputation and promote mutual international exchange of students or academic staff.
I look forward to welcoming you at the Department of Classics and Philosophy!
Professor Ioannis Taifacos
