About BA Ancient History
In the first two years, you take core topics exploring the ancient Greek and Roman world, the sources of information available and the different approaches employed by modern scholars.
In years one and two, you will choose a number of optional units on ancient language, literature, philosophy, art and political, social or cultural history. Some of these units may be offered in collaboration with other departments, such as Archaeology.
In your third year you will choose seminar-based special subject units based on the staff's wide range of research interests. You will also choose a subject of special interest to you and, in co-operation with a supervisor, research and write a dissertation of 12,000 words.
