Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Classical Studies

Program Overview

Our BA in Classical Studies explores the rich heritage of ancient Greece and Rome and their cultural interactions within the broader Mediterranean. Studying with us, you will gain a critical yet empathetic appreciation of different worldviews on a course that blends the study of history, politics, and culture and spans the Bronze Age to the twenty-first century.

Study begins in Year 1 by establishing a framework for classical studies. You are introduced to key events, figures, themes and concepts via a range of sources and methods. The year is a fascinating, multidisciplinary mix of history, literature, politics, mythology and religion, philosophy, archaeology, art and architecture.

In Year 2, you explore the nature of classical studies as a discipline and its changing assumptions, methods and definitions. As well as offering multidimensional insight into the culture, history, and politics of the Greek and Roman worlds, modules also provide opportunities to reflect on the impact of these worlds in later societies, right up to the present day. Topics may include the high point of Athenian democracy, the world of Alexander the Great, the Roman Republic and early Empire, and the construction of the classical past in modern museum collections.

In your final year, you will hone your research methods, write a dissertation, and undertake more specialised modules that focus on the areas of academic expertise of the teaching staff. Topics may include gender and sexuality in the classical world and its modern legacy, the Pax Romana, popular culture in the classical world, the Trojan War in the ancient imagination, and ancient approaches to death and ritual.
