We help students to apply for postdoctoral research fellowships, and in the academic job market. Recent graduates have won British Academy, Leverhulme and Wellcome Trust postdoctoral fellowships, and many have gone on to careers in leading UK and international universities (Athens, Bristol, Cambridge, Cyprus, Edinburgh, Exeter, London, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford, Swansea and St Andrews).

Employability

A PhD from UCL is recognised as a world-class qualification in research on the ancient Greco-Roman world and its place in intellectual history. We have international staff who are well placed to advise and support students as they enter the academic job market, and we have a good track record in helping our graduates start their careers in research and academia.

Networking

Each year we host several major international conferences to enable our students to hear and meet leading scholars from across the world.

What our students and staff say

Student review

“As mentioned in the previous section, UCL pursues a unique and forward-looking link between teaching and researching. Other motivations to apply to UCL for my PhD are the excellent facilities and unequalled quality and quantity of support, both on a personal and a professional level.”
