The Ancient History MA is an intercollegiate degree programme of the University of London. It allows students to focus on a specific period or topic, explore adjacent disciplines, and acquire technical skills in areas such as archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, papyrology, and textual criticism. Students gain a thorough grounding in ancient history's key aspects and approaches. They develop the ability to assess historical evidence critically and synthesise historical data from printed, manuscript, archaeological, numismatic, epigraphic, and papyrological sources. They are equipped with the tools necessary for further research in this field. Most teaching is available at UCL, but some modules are held at other London institutions. The programme will introduce you to skills essential to or highly desirable for almost all fields of ancient history. You will be offered practical training in those skills and be introduced to specific aspects of the ancient world at an intellectually demanding level.
