Modules

This degree has three stages. In Stage 1 you will encounter a variety of different times and places and engage with some fascinating people, art works, ideas and stories. This broad foundation will help you develop the skills and the confident, open approach you need to tackle more specialist modules at Stages 2 and 3. At Stage 2 you’ll choose between investigating the literature, history, art and material culture of the classical world; or being introduced to the literature, culture, and language of the Roman world. You can study both of these modules or combine one classical studies module with another from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules. At Stage 3, you'll choose between two Classical studies modules. You can consider the development, relevance and roles of classical myths and mythical characters in social, cultural and historical contexts. The alternative is to explore how to use material culture, historical writing, inscriptions and art from across the Roman empire to understand its social, military, political and economic structures. You can study both of these modules or choose a second module from a wide choice of arts and humanities modules.
