Ancient History and Latin, MA (Hons)

The MA in Ancient History and Latin integrates the study of Graeco-Roman history with Latin language training. This programme fosters essential skills, including historical analysis, linguistic expertise, and literary interpretation, providing significant educational benefits.Through Latin studies, students access foundational Western texts in their original language, such as epics, love poetry, oratory, and historical works, which enrich their understanding of ancient history. Participants can explore Greek and Roman civilisations from the Bronze Age to Late Antiquity and Byzantium, and take courses on other ancient societies like the Etruscans, Persians, and Carthaginians.
