History and Classics MA (Hons)

History is a perfect partner for classics, the study of the languages, literature, history, art, and the archaeology of ancient Greeks and Romans. Knowledge of and enquiry into the ancient world was vitally important in later periods of history, and knowledge of the classical world is an important tool for historians of all periods, places and themes. In history, courses cover historical periods from the early Middle Ages to the most recent past; geographical regions including Britain and Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas; and a wide variety of approaches to the past, including political history, cultural history, social history, economic history, intellectual history, gender history, and global and transnational history. On the classics side of the programme, you'll be able to study Latin language and literature or Greek language and literature, or one or more of ancient history, classical art and archaeology, and classical literature in translation.
