Course summary
This three-year Egyptology and Ancient History degree covers the study of Ancient Egyptian language, literature, history and culture. You will explore Egyptian art, architecture, history and civilisation, archaeology, religion and gender alongside the political, social and cultural history of the Greek and Roman world. Our interdisciplinary approach will give you the freedom to tailor your degree according to your specialist interests as you progress. Your studies will be enriched by practical experience at Swansea’s award-winning Egypt Centre, our on campus museum which contains over 5,000 Egyptian antiquities. You can also gain further teaching experience as part of the South West Wales Reaching Wider Partnerships or by teaching Hieroglyphs or Latin to schools and the local community. During the second year of your course there will also be the opportunity to study abroad for a semester. All these experiences are designed to enhance your student experience and career prospects further. Based on our stunning Singleton Park campus overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, teaching is informed by our world-leading research. You will be part of a close-knit student community and can get involved in a wide range of clubs and societies including the Egyptological Society and Ancient World Society which run events and trips throughout the year.
