Course summary
You will already have a love of history; now you can specialise in the ancient worlds of Greece and Rome. Uncover the significance of historical facts and events – from the transformation of the Roman Empire from polytheism to Christianity, to the the importance of slavery in the ancient world. You will examine:
- progress and decline
- labour and leisure
- revolution and reconciliation
- ancient gender roles
- the relationship between elite and non-elite culture
Modules
You will take 120 credits of modules each year. In year one, your core modules will focus on thinking about the nature of ancient history as a discipline and developing the skills required for researching, writing and debating. You will also take 40 credits of optional modules, which may be in ancient history, or in other subjects such as archaeology or history of art. In year two, you will take 'Extended Source Study' and 'Studying Classical Scholarship', to prepare you for third-year dissertation work. Your optional modules also include a selection of topics in Greek and Roman history and civilisation, and the opportunity to continue or start learning Greek or Latin. In year three, you will take two or three of the core modules available. These may be combined with optional modules, including starting or continuing Greek or Latin. Placement and volunteering opportunities are available in the School of Humanities, as well as via the Nottingham Advantage Award. You can also spend time overseas through the University of Nottingham Study Abroad programme.
