Classical Studies with Ancient History - BA (Hons)

University of Lincoln

If you're fascinated by mythology, ancient history, politics, literature, archaeology, or the origins of modern society, Classical Studies at the University of Lincoln gives you the chance to explore how Greek and Roman cultures continue to shape the world today. This degree combines history, literature, philosophy, art, archaeology, and language study to help you understand not just the ancient world but how people, power, belief, identity, and culture still influence modern life. You don't need prior knowledge of Latin or Greek to study this course. You'll build skills in research, communication, analysis, critical thinking, and interpretation that employers value across a wide range of careers. What makes Lincoln different is that the city itself becomes part of your learning experience. Lincoln is a historic Roman city, and you'll study surrounded by real archaeological sites, Roman remains, museums, and heritage collections, giving your degree a direct connection to the past you're exploring. Whether you're considering careers in heritage, museums, education, publishing, media, law, public service, HR, research (among the others), or further postgraduate study, this course helps you develop transferable skills alongside specialist knowledge.
