Course Overview

BA Classical Studies allows you to explore the culture, history, archaeology, philosophy, and literature of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. Choosing from a range of options, you can study Greek and Roman societies across the Mediterranean and Near East, from the Archaic period to the Roman imperial period and Late Antiquity, and the reception of classical culture in later periods of history.

You will be encouraged to engage in the wider debate on how we interpret the classical world and why this matters. You will investigate both the admirable and the disturbing facets of Greek and Roman cultures, as we delve into:

democracy

slavery

sexuality

empire.  

The nature of our knowledge about the past and the way in which histories and texts are written is a key concern. You will assess ancient source material (textual and archaeological) and question accepted histories and traditions about the past so that you develop the ability to construct and present a convincing argument.  

Graduates can pursue career paths in museums and galleries, research and archiving, or education. Possible professions include:

archivist

editorial assistant

higher education lecturer

museum/gallery curator.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond. At every stage of your career journey, we empower you to take ownership of your future, helping you to make the connection between your experience, education, and future ambitions.
