The cultural legacy of the classical world is still with us today, thousands of years after the decline of its last great civilisation. It influences law and politics, the way we see the world, language and the arts.

Learn about the history and culture, arts and mythology of the ancient world. Explore the origins of democracy and republican government—and the nature of imperial autocracy.

You'll find out about the cultures, peoples and societies of the Greco-Roman world and learn about the realities of slavery, gladiatorial contests, class struggle and gender identity in Greece and Rome.

Develop transferable skills—in abstract thinking, analysis, writing and critical judgement—and learn to construct and express a logical argument.

If you're interested in the history and culture of the ancient world and want to get up close and personal with its art and artefacts, then Classical Studies is a good choice for you.
