Classics (Ancient Greek) with StudyEurope BA

Course overview

This four-year course enables you to pursue your interest in the languages, literature and thought of ancient Greece and Rome, while considering the broader cultural, social and political contexts of the ancient Mediterranean world.

You will study a broad range of literary and non-literary sources, which are taught in innovative and dynamic ways by staff engaged in ground-breaking research.

You will study Ancient Greek alongside a modern language (current options are Italian and German) and will spend your third year studying classical subjects through that language at one of our partner universities in Europe.

Currently, placements are available in Bologna, Padua, Rome or Venice, with recent confirmation of new placements in Berlin and Tübingen, Germany. Confirmation of available placements will be made in your second year.
