Course summary
Immerse yourself in the study of the Greek and Roman world on this three-year Classical Studies BA Honours degree. You'll focus on developing your knowledge of how ancient societies thought about and presented their world through culture.
Exploring everything from literature, history and art, to science, architecture and religion, you'll learn about the impact Classical tradition has had on Western civilisation. You'll also learn about the range of approaches available to study it. You'll also have the option of studying Latin or Ancient Greek from beginners or intermediate level.
Alongside core modules in Greek and Roman literature, you'll explore a variety of topics, including Greek and Roman religion, slavery in Greco-Roman Antiquity, the life and afterlife of Alexander the Great, and women in the ancient world.
