Overview
Our Ancient History programme provides you with the chance to study a wide range of themes in the political, social, and cultural history of ancient Greece and Rome. You are introduced to important figures such as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, or Augustus, and their military and political actions. You also learn about the social, economic, and cultural realities of life in Athens and Rome and you are challenged in your assumptions about the Classical World.
The degree provides you with the skills to read and analyse the surviving (and sometimes conflicting) evidence, allowing you to reach and present your own judgments convincingly on a variety of complex and controversial social,
political, and cultural issues. You will also have the opportunity to study Greek and/or Latin from beginners to advanced levels.
Subject is available through Honours. More information here
