In the postgraduate programme the seminars are allocated according to the three fields, as appears in the use of the three letters of the course codes. In each field in-depth examination of particular research issues is combined with broader interdisciplinary considerations.
In particular, the postgraduate seminars are allocated as follows:

1. Byzantine Language and Literature (BMG 500-515)
2. Byzantine and Medieval History (HIS 500-515)
3. Byzantine and Medieval Art and Archaeology (ARC 500-515)
