Description:

The Department of Classics offers an MA in Classics, with an emphasis on classical texts and research methods, which suitably prepared students may complete in one year of full-time study, normally beginning in September.

Classics is one of the most holistic and multidisciplinary of modern academic fields. Students in Classics study Greek and Roman societies in all their aspects including language, literature, history, philosophy, science and technology. Classics covers the material culture of ancient society – the art, the houses, the fortifications, the temples, even the cooking pots.

Classics is also the oldest academic discipline; its traditions stretch back into antiquity itself. Modern western culture grows from these ancient roots, and knowledge of classical antiquity provides students with a broad cultural vocabulary, which helps them to understand western literature, laws and cultural institutions.
