This course emphasises both the common ground between ancient history and archaeology and the different approaches of the two disciplines. It is suited to those who wish to approach an understanding of the ancient world through both the material, and the textual evidence. Study of Greek or Latin is not required, but may be undertaken as part of the course.
Year one
In ancient history you will study two core modules which give you an integrated introduction to the history and culture of Greece and Rome and their receptions. You may study an ancient language, or take a module which goes into more depth on topics in ancient history, plus a similar module on either ancient literature or ancient art. In archaeology, year one will lay the foundation for your study of archaeology with core modules in archaeological method and the prehistoric and historic archaeology of Britain up to the industrial revolution.
Year two
In year two you will study more advanced core themes in archaeological research and choose from a wide range of optional modules covering topics from the Roman Empire to underwater archaeology, including the study of ancient Greek or Latin.
Year three
In year three you will either write a 10,000-word dissertation in Classics and a 6000-word Independent Project in Archaeology, or a 12,000-word dissertation in Archaeology. Further optional modules from the two departments complete the year.
