This course will enable you to pursue your interest in the languages, literature and thought of Greece and Rome, while considering the broader cultural, social and political contexts of the classical world. You will study a broad range of literary and non-literary sources, which are taught in innovative and dynamic ways by staff engaged in ground-breaking research. You will spend your third year studying classical subjects in Italian at one of our partner universities (currently in Venice, Rome or Bologna) and then return for your final year at Warwick.

In your first year, you take two modules in Greek and Roman Culture and Society, plus Greek at an appropriate level, and accelerated Italian. In your second year you continue to study Greek and Italian languages alongside two optional modules. In your fourth year, you return to Warwick, where you will take three optional modules and complete a dissertation.

Course programme

In your first year core modules may include Greek and Roman Culture and Society, plus Greek at an appropriate level, and accelerated Italian. In your second year you continue to study Greek and Italian languages alongside two optional modules. You will spend your third year studying classical subjects in Italian at one of our partner universities (currently in Venice, Rome or Bologna) and then return for your final year at Warwick, where you take three optional modules and complete a dissertation..

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). Your second and third years (or second and fourth years for Study in Europe degrees) contribute equally to your final degree classification. Some modules involve alternative assessment methods including digital storytelling videos, blog posts and presentations.
