Course summary

Are you fascinated by ancient civilisations, and how they helped shape the modern world? If so, this is the course for you. We combine studying the literature, history, art and culture of ancient Greece and Rome with English language, literature and drama from Old English to the present day. You’ll explore different aspects of ancient society, choosing modules ranging from the Aeneid to ancient novels, religion, violence, comedy, animals and citizenship, as well as classics on film or on the modern stage. You can also choose to study ancient Greek or Latin at any level as part of this course. Studying Greek or Latin will give you greater insight into the original language of texts you’re reading in translation. It also provides linguistic analysis and literacy skills that are valued by employers. In English, you’ll choose modules from applied linguistics, drama, Old English and medieval literature and language, and literature from 1500 to today, exploring novels, poetry and plays.

Modules

Our first-year core modules are designed as an introduction. We will build everyone's knowledge to the same level, so you can progress through to year two. In year one Classics you'll study two core modules, introducing the history and culture of Greece and Rome, and modules on ancient literature, history, or art and archaeology. In English you'll choose three core modules from Studying Language, Studying Literature, Beginnings of English, and Drama, Theatre and Performance. In year two Classics you'll choose from a range of options exploring ancient literature and culture, art and history, with case studies on the ancient world and its interpretation. In English, you'll choose three optional modules from at least two areas of English. In year three you may write a dissertation in either English or Classics, or find a uniting topic. In English you'll choose three optional modules, from at least two areas of study.
