The course is primarily designed for students who have studied ancient history, classics or classical studies as their first degree.
You can choose to study from one of two pathways: classics or ancient history.
If you are interested in classics, you will engage in advanced study of the literatures, languages and cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome.
If you want to specialise in ancient history, you will focus on the histories, societies and cultures of Archaic and Classical Greece, Rome and the wider Mediterranean world.
Usually a 2:1 honours degree, or international equivalent, in the programme’s field (classics, classical studies, ancient history, or similar).
We also welcome applications from a wide range of other fields across arts, humanities and social sciences. Please get in touch if you have any specific queries.
