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.
