Course summary

This subject is unique in the sense that it allows you the opportunity to study history, literature, philosophy and art history all in one course. Not only will this enhance your appreciation of other humanities subjects but the content is highly topical and thought-provoking in its own right. You will develop your critical faculties and ability to construct arguments, as well as crucially nurture a keen sense of cultural empathy. The Greeks (and the Romans) laid down the markers for much of what we label ‘civilisation’, this course takes you right to the heart of being human. the demands of undergraduate research and essay writing. It complements many popular humanities subjects and provides excellent preparation for new subjects like anthropology. Classics pupils go on to a wide range of careers in areas such as the media, publishing, the Foreign Office and Advertising
