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.

Course Overview

The Ancient History scheme allows you to study a wide range of topics covering not only fascinating figures like Alexander the Great but also basic aspects of everyday life, such as bathing, dining, performing religious rituals, warfare and the economy.

In the first year, modules can be taken on a wide range of periods and themes; in the second and third years, we offer specialised modules on all aspects of Graeco-Roman history so that you can gain in-depth knowledge in areas of particular interest to you.

Options are also available to study select modules in the wider Faculty of Humanities, for example in ancient Egyptian culture and history, ancient Chinese History, Bronze Age archaeology or Celtic Civilisations. All students have the opportunity to pursue their, interests and conduct their own research in the second-year independent project and the third-year dissertation.

Assessment

A degree in Ancient History involves a wide range of assessment methods. In addition to traditional gobbet work, essays and in class tests, you will be assessed through bibliographic exercises, presentations — oral and PowerPoint-based, at both individual and group level — creation of abstracts, reflective reports, in-house conference papers, article reviews, take-home exams, group wikis, creation of project plans and, of course, the dissertation.

This variety of assessment helps develop skills in presenting material in a clear, professional and lucid manner, whether orally or in writing.
