MA Classics students at Leiden University can attend courses that are offered by Masterlanguage.
Masterlanguage is a curriculum of courses offered annually to MA students in several languages (among others, classical Greek and Latin). Participating students sign up for Masterlanguage courses while being enrolled in the Leiden Master programme specialisation Classics.
For Classics the courses concern Greek and Latin Epigraphy. The Epigraphy courses are offered by various universities and OIKOS, the National Research School in Classical Studies; the Epigraphy courses on location are organised by the Netherlands Institute in Athens (NIA) and Rome (KNIR).

The course is primarily intended for MA and PhD students in Classics, Ancient History, Archaeology and Religious Studies, but it is also open to others.
