This joint degree combines the study of archaeology and classics.Archaeology is the study of the material remains of past peoples. It offers evidence for reconstructing and understanding the day-to-day lives of the ancient civilisations.Classics is an interdisciplinary study of the past. This includes study and analysis of language, literature, history, and philosophy.Bringing together the study of ancient historical sources with the theory and practice of archaeology, in this programme you will explore the ancient Mediterranean civilisations, including:* Greece * Rome * Egypt * the Near East
