Benefit from studying Classics from a wide variety of angles – exploring literature, philosophy, religion, archaeology and ancient history.
The Classics (Greek & Latin) BA embraces the study of all aspects of the cultures of Greece and Rome by developing your skills in Ancient Greek and Latin languages.
If you have no prior knowledge of either Ancient Greek or Latin, you can still join this programme as we offer innovative pathways to support your rapid acquisition of practical skills in these languages, allowing you to reach an advanced level by Year 3.
Students who join another programme in the Classics Department at King's and take Ancient Greek and Latin language modules in Year 1 (they need to have some knowledge of one ancient language already, as they cannot take two beginners’ modules) have the option to transfer to the Classics BA in Year 2, provided that they attain an overall result of over 70% in one of these two language modules.
