Build you love for, and understanding of, the ancient world to new levels.
Classics is a language-based course. You will investigate the culture and history of Ancient Rome and Greece by examining written materials in their original language. You can also learn Latin or ancient Greek from scratch, or build on your existing knowledge.
**Beginners' Latin and ancient Greek**
As a beginner of both languages, you will receive extensive language tuition in your first year, reaching an advanced level by year three. You will also begin the other language in your second year.
**If you have A level Latin or ancient Greek**
You will study both languages from year one.
Whichever your entry level, you will use your language skills to interpret ancient art, history, literature, mythology and drama. Experience satire, epics and tragedies with new understanding. Ancient languages live on; just see where the LatinNow team went in 2019, demonstrating just how influential the classical world remains in today's society.
