A degree in History and Ancient History at the University of Exeter is the first step on a journey through the human race in historic times: our activities, ideas, creations, institutions and impact. You will examine the past to uncover the changes in societies, conflict, culture, religion, politics and science that led us to where we are today. Looking back even further, you will explore the two most significant civilisations ever to have existed; Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, which bore some of the greatest thinkers, warriors, scholars, philosophers, artists, athletes, architects and politicians. Covering exciting topics such as government, conflict, religion, gender, sexuality, migration and economy you will learn to use the past to better understand the world around you.
