BA Classical Studies with Foundation Year (Part-Time)

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

BA Classical Studies with Foundation Year allows you to explore and critically analyze Classical culture, history, archaeology, philosophy, and literature. Choosing from a wide range of options, you can study the culture and history of 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 also be encouraged to engage in the wider debate on how we interpret the Classical world and why this matters - a debate that is at the forefront of current research in all disciplines of Classical antiquity. In doing so, you will confront both the admirable and the disturbing facets of Greek and Roman cultures, as we delve into democracy, slavery, sexuality, and empire. This is a structured program of taught modules, designed to develop understanding and critical skills and deep knowledge of Classical history and culture. It involves examining the nature of our knowledge about the past and the way in which histories and texts are written. We encourage you to assess ancient source material (textual and archaeological) and to question accepted histories and traditions about the past so that you will develop the ability to construct and present a convincing argument. Our part-time Foundation Year degrees allow you to spread out your Foundation Year studies over two years. As the 'Foundation Year' is made up of 120 credits, as a part-time student you can take 60 credits in each of your first and second years before starting the main four-year BA Classical Studies. This means that you can take six years to complete the part-time degree with Foundation Year.

General Eligibility

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge, and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on the judgment of academic potential.
