About the Department of Classics and Ancient History
The Department of Classics and Ancient History explores different aspects of ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Our interests range from pre-dynastic Egypt to late antiquity.
You can study Ancient History, Classical Studies, Greek and Latin. Much of the Western world’s linguistic, literary and cultural heritage developed from the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean world. You can develop an understanding of the roots of modern thought and intellectual enterprise.
You can continue your study of the language and literature, history and culture of the ancient Mediterranean world. The department has a lively postgraduate community and encourages overseas study and research. Over the years we have been involved with the development of important scholars, authors and university teachers in our field.
