This course will enable you to pursue your interest in the history and archaeology of the ancient world, and to explore topics via the study of both texts and artefacts of many kinds. You will spend your third year studying classical subjects in Italian at one of our partner universities (currently in Venice, Rome, Bologna or Padua) and then return for your final year at Warwick. There is flexibility to switch to the Classical Civilisation, or Classical Civilisation with Study in Europe degree stream after your first year if you discover that this is where your interests lie.
In your first year you will take Greek Culture and Society, Roman Culture and Society, Latin or Greek at the appropriate level and accelerated Italian. In subsequent years, you build on what you have learnt through a choice of modules, which allow you to engage in your own way with the civilisation of the Ancient Mediterranean. Regardless of your chosen degree, you are required to complete at least one module in an ancient language in your first year.

About this course
Typically, our students benefit from many hands-on learning experiences, including handling authentic ancient coins, recreating the experience of a Greek symposium using replica vases, and visiting historical sites and museums in the UK. You will have the opportunity to study topics such as Greek democracy, the Roman cultural revolution under Augustus, or how the ancients thought about domestic space, in modules specifically focused on Greco-Roman history, art, archaeology and architecture. You will gain skills in analysis, logic, written and oral communication and research, and you will learn how to work independently, meet deadlines and pay attention to detail.
Graduates from the department have gone on to successful and distinguished careers in a diverse range of fields. These include: Law, Teaching, Academia, Civil Service, Theatre, Banking, Marketing and Communications.
A level: ABB, to include a foreign language (modern or ancient) or evidence of ability to learn Italian and grade C/grade 4 in GCSE Mathematics (or equivalent)

Course programme
How will I learn?
You will study in a variety of ways: lectures, seminars (involving student presentations or small-group discussion of a particular topic) and (in your final year) by completing a dissertation on a topic of your choice, with guidance from your departmental supervisor.
You will have 2–3 contact hours per week for each module, and will also prepare work independently outside the classroom. Each of your essays will receive detailed written feedback and will also be discussed with you in a one-to-one feedback session with the marker of the essay.
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.
