BA Classics

Course Description

The study of Classics is concerned with the language, literature, history and thought of ancient Greece and Rome. Through the reading of literature in the original Greek and Latin and the examination of key aspects of ancient history, you will develop a thorough knowledge of the classical world and a critical approach to textual and material culture. If you have already studied either Greek or Latin at school, you can learn the other language as a beginner. Classics has been taught in Trinity College since its foundation just over 400 years ago, and Trinity College is unique in having Chairs in both Greek and Latin.
