This course offers the opportunity to combine a broad engagement with classical culture and society with learning archaeological skills and techniques, to enable first-hand study of material culture. Study of Greek or Latin is not required but may be taken as part of the course.

Two core modules give a broad introduction to the history and culture of Greece and Rome and their receptions. You may also either choose to study Ancient Greek or Latin, or pick two out of three modules focusing on topics in ancient history, classical literature, or classical 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.

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 study of Latin or ancient Greek.
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.
