About the course

Many of the foundational concepts of Western society first emerged in ancient Greek or Latin, languages that, alongside English and Scots, underpin numerous influential literary works. This joint honours programme examines the cultural contexts of Scottish literature from the late Middle Ages to the present, alongside the scholarship and literature of classical civilisations, fostering a deeper understanding of both historical and contemporary worlds while promoting openness to diverse ideas—essential for careers in a global marketplace.The programme develops critical, analytical, linguistic, and creative skills through engagement with a wide range of Scottish texts and approaches. Students begin with essential close-reading techniques, then specialise in periods, topics, or genres of Scottish literature. In Classics, participants explore the history, cultures, languages, and literatures of key ancient societies, choosing from Greek, Latin, or non-language pathways. At Edinburgh, renowned for its literary heritage, resources, and flexibility, students can select interdisciplinary options in early years before honing their focus.
