This Ancient History BA allows you to explore a wide range of diverse periods, places, and cultures thanks to a broad syllabus that gives you the freedom to follow your interests. As well as history, you could also choose to study topics in literature, art, archaeology, and philosophy, learn ancient languages such as Latin and/or Greek. Your studies can cover a vast geographical area, from Roman Britain to the Black Sea, Persia, Egypt, and North Africa. You’ll also learn how to work with primary and documentary sources, such as literary texts and ancient inscriptions. This will help you to engage with the various types of history you’ll encounter, including social, cultural, political, military, economic, and religious history, and to scrutinise current debates in scholarship. You’ll join the best department for Classics research in the UK (REF 2021) and benefit from a unique range of teaching from the Bronze Age to Modern Greece. And you’ll get to build your experience beyond your ancient history course with a wealth of extracurricular opportunities that can include an expenses-paid field trip to an ancient site in the Mediterranean and an active Classics Society
