Study the Greeks and Romans and the languages in which they thought and wrote, whether you are a beginner or already studying Greek or Latin. In the language modules, your language skills and literary awareness will be developed through a wide range of texts (in poetry and prose) from the Graeco-Roman world. The degree allows you to study the society and culture of antiquity, including its literature, art, history and archaeology. If you have no previous experience of either Greek or Latin, the introductory level modules are designed to move you towards reading texts in their original languages as swiftly as possible. The more advanced modules allow for in-depth study of a wide variety of authors. You will have the advantage of expert tuition, often in very small groups, and the opportunity to develop specialist interests. Classics students also acquire the critical skills necessary for the interpretation of written evidence, to understand methodological issues and contemporary theories relevant to the study of ancient languages and societies.
