Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Classical Literature and Civilisation (Q820)

This innovative undergraduate degree programme is for those fascinated by ancient cultures. Students will embrace the diversity of Greek and Roman culture, drawing together literature, drama, myth, religion, history, philosophy and art.

Students will be taught in the Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology with the opportunity to explore not only the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome, but also the culture of Egypt, as well as the Byzantine Empire.

Students will work with the plays, poems, and speeches that have come down from antiquity, and study the monument, religion and mythology that make up classical civilisation. Students may choose to learn Latin or Greek, or continue their study of either language from A Level onwards, or they may wish to focus their undergraduate studies entirely on literature and sources in English translations.
