Course Overview

This innovative undergraduate degree course is for those fascinated by ancient cultures, as well as the written and spoken word.

Study the full range of literature or language in English, alongside the society and literature of the classical world.  Embrace the diversity of Greek and Roman culture, drawing together literature, drama, myth, religion, history, philosophy and art. Choose either an English Literature or Language pathway, allowing you to focus your studies on how literary culture has shaped society, or the linguistic, social and political issues surrounding language.

In your Classical studies, explore the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome as well as the cultures of Ancient Egypt, Western Asia and the Byzantine Empire.  Work with the plays, poems and speeches that have come down to us from antiquity, and study the monument, religion and mythology that make up classical civilisation.

The Literature pathway will provide a strong foundation in all major periods and genres and specialise in areas ranging from medieval poetry to twenty-first century digital literary culture.  Studying the Language pathway will give a thorough appreciation of the technical aspects of the English language and its social and political context.
