Overview

In addition, the Classics and the Ancient World BA programme provides an opportunity to study the ancient world in a broad sense, alongside an in-depth study of aspects of ancient literature, philosophy, history and archaeology.

The main focus of this programme is the study of ancient languages and literature in the context of all aspects of the ancient world in its full chronological, geographical and methodological range.

University College London (UCL) students will be able to develop a sophisticated approach to the ancient world, expressing their own ideas in essays for individual modules and a final-year dissertation.

The compulsory modules ensure a broad understanding of the ancient world and familiarity with at least one ancient language, and some involve research skills training.

The wide range of optional modules includes ancient language and literature, philosophy and science, ancient history and the various branches of archaeology.
