Ancient History and Classical Archaeology

In your first year core modules may include different aspects of the classical world, and develop your writing, language and research skills. Every student has to study either Latin or Ancient Greek at an appropriate level. In your second and third years you can choose from a variety of ancient history and archaeology modules. Current options include The Roman Near East, and Art and Architecture in Asia Minor, Coinage of Greece and Rome, Domestic Space in the Roman World, Principles and Methods of Classical Archaeology You will also complete one core module in each of these years – The Hellenistic World in your second year, and a dissertation in your third year on an area that interests you.

How will I be assessed?

You will take four modules each year, the assessment of which is generally equally divided between coursework submitted during the year and exams in the summer (100% exam for language modules). Some modules involve alternative assessment methods including digital storytelling videos, blog posts and presentations. Your second and third years (or second and fourth years for Study in Europe degrees) contribute equally to your final degree classification.
