Classics and Archaeology at UM This is the page of the Department of Classics and Archaeology at the University of Malta.

The Department is responsible for all degrees in both Archaeology and Classics. The Department of Classics was one of the longest established departments of the Faculty of Arts; in 1988 its remit was extended to include Archaeology and, to date, all professional posts involving the archaeological heritage in various Maltese government and parastatal bodies are occupied by graduates of this department. The department maintains a highly respectable international profile. Its academic members regularly participate in international conferences and publish their research in academic journals and books. The Department collaborates with Heritage Malta and the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage and supports the activities of the Malta Archaeological Society and of the Malta Classics Association.
