Program details

Overview

The BA Classics centres on the languages of ancient Greece and Rome, offering teaching in Latin and Greek across prose and verse. Students can study at a level suited to their experience, whether or not they have studied an ancient language before. The course places ancient texts in their social and cultural setting, linking language work with the civilisations that produced them. Students examine these societies in depth, so language and culture develop together. Graduates gain advanced linguistic and analytical skills that suit careers across many fields. Students gain confidence reading ancient sources in their original languages. The degree also provides a strong basis for further study in classics and related disciplines, and it suits students who enjoy close reading and precise argument.
