Ad discendum quod opus est nulla mihi aetas sera videri potest (There is no age too old to learn what I need to learn), and this Professional master’s degree is the best opportunity to do so” 

Classical Culture is fundamental in the field of education because ancient Greece and Rome were the cradle of Western civilization. Thus, understanding what happens today is inconceivable without first knowing what happened during the first millennium B.C. and how these two great states gave rise to a rich history in which, if we delve deeper, it is possible to establish similarities with current times. However, this is an area that sometimes does not generate interest in students who see in it, as in Latin, an obsolete culture.  

To prove that this is not the case and that it is possible to teach these subjects in a dynamic and entertaining way, TECH and its team of experts in Humanities and History have developed a complete program with which teachers can implement the most innovative teaching strategies in their practice. A Professional master’s degree consisting of 1,500 hours of diverse content, including additional material (detailed videos, research articles, didactic resources, complementary readings, etc.) that graduates will be able to use in their own classes.  

Through an extensive historical journey, the syllabus delves into the geographical framework of Greece and Rome, classical art, Greco-Roman religion, and the politics and social structures of the time. Once this period is over, the program focuses on Latin and the keys to its mastery, from the translation of simple to complex sentences, with special emphasis on the syntactic guidelines to carry it out properly. All this in a 100% online format and through a unique academic experience with which teachers will no doubt take a step further in their commitment to a more innovative methodological education. 

You will work comprehensively on the translation of simple and compound sentences in Latin, pointing out exceptions and specific syntactic constructions”

This Professional master’s degree in Teaching Latin and Classical Culture contains the most complete and up-to-date program on the market. The most important features include:

• Practical cases presented by experts in Humanities, Art History and Teaching 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
• Practical exercises where self-assessment can be used to improve learning

• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection 

The best program available on the academic market to implement the most innovative and effective language teaching methods into your daily practice”

The program’s teaching staff includes professionals from the sector who contribute their work experience to this training program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities.  
The multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will provide the professional with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive specialization programmed to learn in real situations.  

This program is designed around Problem-Based Learning, whereby the professional must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the program. For this purpose, the student will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts.
