Classical Civilisation, BA (Hons)

Embark on an exploration of the ancient world, focusing on the political, social structures, art, visual culture, thought, religion, and social life of Greece and Rome. No prior academic experience in classical civilisations is necessary. Core modules introduce the history and culture of the ancient Mediterranean, including its influence on later societies, politics, and thought. As you progress, you'll develop skills in analysing ancient literature, history, and material culture, while reading texts in translation. Options to study Latin or Greek provide deeper linguistic insights and valuable analytical skills for employers.In the first year, core modules build foundational knowledge in ancient history as a discipline, alongside optional modules in classical civilisation or related fields like archaeology. Year two features the 'Extended Source Study' module, with choices in Greek and Roman topics and language learning. In year three, students complete at least two 'Special Subject/Dissertation' modules, supplemented by electives, including Greek or Latin options, to tailor their studies.
