Overview

##1 in the UK for "Teaching staff explained things well" (NSS 2026).

The ancient world still shapes how we think about power, identity, justice and culture. With the BA Classical Studies programme, you’ll explore Greek and Roman civilisations through their literature, myths, histories and legacies and learn how to question the stories we inherit.

You’ll learn with expert academics, including practising archaeologists and historians and you’ll be encouraged to follow your curiosity. Choose from a wide range of modules, with opportunities to focus your degree through pathways such as Classical Studies with Archaeology, or add a Year Abroad or Year in Industry.

Employability is built in. You can take part in hands-on options such as fieldwork placements, heritage and museum projects, or education-focused experiences (including teaching shadowing), helping you to grow your confidence, your networks and your sense of purpose.
