Classics

Classics at Cambridge is the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures, language, literature, philosophy, ancient history, art and archaeology. Classics covers the history, culture, archaeology, art, philosophy and linguistics of classical antiquity. You will also study original texts and artefacts.

You can either specialise in a particular field or study a range of different topics.

Our 3-year course is for you if:

• you have Latin A level or IB Higher Level (or equivalent). If you have little or no Classical Greek, we offer an intensive ancient Greek programme

• you have Classical Greek A level or IB Higher Level (or equivalent) but not Latin. But you may be advised to take the 4-year degree, depending on your circumstances.
