The main focus of this programme is the study of ancient languages and literature in the context of all aspects of the ancient world in its full chronological, geographical and methodological range. You develop a sophisticated approach to the ancient world and express your own ideas in essays for individual modules and a final-year dissertation.


Your third year is spent at an approved university in, for example, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain or Switzerland. This offers you the chance to expand your knowledge and experience within your chosen academic field, as well as learn new skills and enjoy the culture of another country.


The compulsory modules ensure a broad understanding of the ancient world and familiarity with at least one ancient language, and some involve research skills training.


The wide range of optional modules includes ancient language and literature, philosophy and science, ancient history and the various branches of archaeology.


There are three specialist routes that you can take: the Language and Literature route involves the study of ancient Greek and Latin, including the great classic literature and all aspects of the ancient world. The Literature, History, Archaeology route explores the history, culture and archaeology of the ancient world including the lesser-known but impressive ancient Middle Eastern cultures as well as ancient Greece and Rome. You also learn at least one ancient language. Finally, the Middle Eastern Studies route provides an in-depth study of the ancient Middle East, covering the languages, history and archaeology of the area, where you may concentrate on specific languages and cultures.


The course also allows you to take modules from outside the area of Classics and the Ancient World, for example in medieval or modern history, history of science or computing. 


In Years one and two, you also study the modern foreign language of the country you intend to visit in your third year.
