The BA in Ancient History and Italian (Joint Honours) gives students the opportunity to combine learning a major world language with the study of the ancient Greek and Roman world. With in-depth study of both Ancient History and Italian, graduates will develop the tools to compete in an increasingly global workforce. The BA in Ancient History and Italian aims to develop your knowledge and critical understanding of the political, social, economic, and cultural structures of other societies, and to cultivate intellectual skills such as the ability to assess evidence critically, to evaluate different interpretations of the evidence, to construct arguments on the basis of evidence, and to express opinions cogently in speech and in writing.
