Students will immerse themselves in the advanced study of Greco-Roman civilisation with the Antiquity MA: Classics and Ancient History pathway.

Modules emphasise independent interpretation of primary evidence, and encourage students to draw connections across historical periods, between different types of evidence (textual, archaeological, iconographic), and between different cultures.

This programme offers students an ideal opportunity to pursue their interests in the Greco-Roman world in greater depth and also provides an ideal foundation for further research at doctoral level. All students take at least one classical language module, plus a general module on Research and Scholarship designed to introduce them to the professional skills required by an independent researcher. This is one of several pathways available on the Antiquity MA.

This is the degree for students if they enjoyed studying the ancient world as an undergraduate, and would now like to study Classics and Ancient History in greater depth and at a higher level; or if they want to explore this aspect of antiquity and it wasn’t included in their first degree.
