About this course

What will I learn?

This flexible four-year programme with three different routes offers the opportunity to develop expertise in one or more ancient languages, out of Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Hittite, Akkadian or Sumerian. In addition, the programme provides an opportunity to study the ancient world in a broad sense, alongside an in-depth study of aspects of ancient literature, philosophy, history and archaeology. This programme is the same as BA Classics and the Ancient World, except that the degree includes an additional year abroad. The third year of this programme 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 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. Students will be able to develop a sophisticated approach to the ancient world and express their own ideas in essays for individual modules and a final-year dissertation.
