Overview

Why study this course?

This joint honours degree provides an exciting opportunity for students who want to focus on interdisciplinary studies, allowing students to combine the study of an Asian or Middle Eastern language and culture with Latin and/or Greek and the study of the ancient world. This enables students to explore the cultural development and crossover in places such as the Middle East, Iran, Egypt and India. You will study the relationship between the languages and cultures of the great monotheistic religions within their various Greek and Roman contexts.
There are two options: Classics with Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (Q8T9) and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies with Classics (T9Q8). In each case the subject mentioned first is the main subject (about two-thirds of the degree) and the second is an additional subject (about one-third of the degree).
Those who choose Arabic, Persian or Turkish as their main language for the Asian and Middle Eastern Studies with Classics degree will spend their second year undertaking immersive language study abroad. The Classics and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies programme is offered at University of Oxford.
