This MA will foster your ability to read a wide range of Greek and/or Latin texts within their historical, cultural and political contexts, and to develop nuanced understanding of methodologies and critical approaches in Classics as a field of study. The core module provides an intensive introduction to literary theory tailored specifically to classicists. The range of optional modules reflects Warwick's strong interdisciplinary links between its departments of Classics and Ancient History, English and Comparative Literary Studies, and Philosophy, and the Centre for Renaissance Studies.
You will undertake rigorous training in the close reading of texts and of Greco-Roman culture, while having flexibility to pursue your related interests both within the field of Classics and beyond through optional modules. You will also build subject specific, transferable skills in independent research, analysis, and communication.
