Join world-leading experts, including practicing archaeologists and historians. You'll study civilisations, from the Minoan and Mycenean period, up to classical Greece, Republican Rome and early Christianity. Build a perspective of classical cultures as living traditions, and how they've continued to shape the world. You'll also have the opportunity to learn ancient languages, and spend valuable time working as an intern in the heritage or museum sector.
What our students say
'The Fieldwork Practice module gave me my first taste of practical archaeology which has definitely sold archaeology to me! I loved The Crisis of the Late Republic because it's been a fun overview of Roman history and we had assignments that weren't essays which gave me a creative way to explore topics I wanted to look at.' Martha Carter, BA Classical and Archaeological Studies
In your first year, you'll take introductory modules on archaeology and the civilisations of Greece and Rome. You can also study Latin and Greek, and choose from other literature or history modules.
In your second and third years you can delve into more specialist areas: Greek plays, the literature of early Christianity, Greek philosophy, Egypt and the classical world and the Ancient Celts.
In your final year, you complete a dissertation or extended essay in a subject of your choice, supported by a supervisor. You can also apply to take one of our placement modules, subject to a selection process, spending time on an internship in a heritage organisation or a museum.
Do you have a passion for Archaeology too? BA Classical & Archaeological Studies is also available.
