This Classics and the Ancient World MA focuses on the literature, language, and culture of the ancient world and their later reception. In this degree, you can explore classical texts and thought in their ancient context as well as how the classical world has been reflected in later periods and consider how the ancient world has shaped the modern. It’s an interdisciplinary master’s degree that doesn’t require any prior knowledge of ancient languages, as you can study texts in translation. However, you can choose to learn ancient Greek, Latin, or other ancient languages if you wish, and you will have the option to study ancient texts in the original, if you already have advanced reading skills in ancient languages. This is an intercollegiate degree, which means you’ll be taught by the best Classics scholars from King’s, UCL and Royal Holloway. But by choosing King’s, you’ll join one of the largest Classics departments in the UK, ranked first in the UK for research excellence (REF 2021), while benefiting from its links to the Institute of Classical Studies and access to one of the best Classics libraries in the country.
A minimum 2:1 undergraduate Bachelors (honours) degree. If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may be considered if you can demonstrate significant relevant work experience, or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a Masters or PGDip).
