Studying Ancient History enables you to apply historical methods to a range of significant questions in Greek and Roman history and critically analyse ancient evidence and modern opinion. Through a diverse range of courses you will cover not only important individuals and their achievements, but also the development of ideas, daily life and material culture.
As a student of Ancient History you will have the opportunity to take courses that make extensive use of the University’s antiquities collection, and others involving trips to Greece and Italy.
The study of Ancient History provides ideal training for any job that requires you to research, structure, and present an argument. You will find graduates working in museums, publishing, the diplomatic corps, secondary schools, media organisations, and the public service.
