Course summary

Interested in the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome? Our Ancient History degree allows you to study a fascinating array of topics ranging from history, literature and art to mythology and religion. Explore everything from figures like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar to aspects of everyday life in Graeco-Roman antiquity, such as gender, slavery, warfare and the economy.

Studying on our Ancient History means you can enjoy research-led teaching and the personal approach of expert tuition.

This programme provides a wide array of themes in the culture and history of Classical Antiquity, including more traditional political-military themes, as well as more culturally focused modules on topics as diverse as health, religion, entertainment, death, marriage, science, and education. Beginners’ Greek
or Latin is also available.

Available as Single or Joint Honours.
