Course Overview

Our MA Classics is ideal for graduates with prior knowledge or study of Greek and Latin who want to undertake advanced study of the classical world at the postgraduate level. We offer you the chance to explore multiple aspects of ancient Greek and Roman archaeology, history, and culture, from the archaic period through the classical era to late antiquity, including Greek and Latin literature and the archaeology and material culture of the ancient Mediterranean. You will learn in a culture of active research, with teaching and supervision from world-leading academics working at the cutting edge in their fields. This interdisciplinary Masters degree starts with a broadly chronological introduction to the classical world, from the archaic Mediterranean to the early Christian Roman Empire. You will explore politics and culture, religion, sex and sexuality, the writing of history, and the reception of classical culture in the modern world, particularly the meanings that have been attached to the classical past, which is a particular research strength in the Department of History, Classics and Archaeology.

General Eligibility

A second-class honors degree (2:2) or above in an arts subject. Proficiency in either Greek or Latin. We will also normally consider social science and science graduates, and applicants with other qualifications.
