Course summary
Are you fascinated by the ancient world and want to delve deeper? The pairing of ancient history and archaeology gives depth to your historical investigations. You will study complex societies through their texts, art and architecture. You will also learn archaeological techniques, such as surveying and recording. The course is structured flexibly, allowing you to progress from key skills, theories and methods, to topic specialisation. You can take:
- a mix of Ancient History and Archaeology modules
- integrated Ancient History and Archaeology modules
- Ancient Greek and Latin modules, from beginners' level to advanced
Modules
In year one, you will be taking mandatory modules in Comparative World Prehistory, Rome to Revolution: Historical Archaeology of Britain, Studying the Greek World, Studying the Roman World, Introduction to Archaeology, and Landscapes and Surveying. You will also take optional modules depending on which pathway you choose between Ancient History and Classical Language. In year two, you will take Archaeology: Theory and Practice as a mandatory module. The optional modules are wide ranging across three groups; classical civilisation, archaeology, and integrated. You also may begin or continue to study Ancient Greek or Latin at the appropriate level of prior language attainment. These modules will be taken in place of other ancient history optional modules. In year three, you will write a dissertation with the skills acquired and/or developed in your first and second years (notably in Extended Source Study, Studying Classical Scholarship or Communicating the Past). You also may begin or continue to study Ancient Greek or Latin at the appropriate level of prior language attainment.
