Our BA Classics immerses you in the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds and offers you a wealth of fascinating areas of study, including history, literature, archaeology and philosophy. This Classics degree also enables you to develop a high level of competence in Ancient Greek and/or Latin, which you can make the main focus of your degree or use to enrich your study of a wide range of complementary option modules across these different Classical disciplines. You will develop your skills in one or both languages at a range of levels and you will also have the chance to read ancient texts in depth in the original. You can select other modules on the BA Classics to complement your language learning. These cover the culture or history of Greek and Roman societies across the Mediterranean and Near East, from the archaic period to the Roman imperial period and Late Antiquity, and the reception of Classical culture in later periods of history. Like the language modules, these are taught by international experts in the relevant fields of Classics. The BA Classics is a structured programme of taught modules, designed to develop your understanding and critical skills and give you a deep knowledge of Classical language, literature and culture. It involves examining the nature of our understanding of the Classical past and its literature. We encourage you to engage with textual material and to question accepted traditions about the past, so that you develop the ability to construct and present a convincing argument. As a full-time Classics student, you must have at least an introductory-level knowledge of either Greek or Latin, which can be acquired (for example) at a summer school immediately before starting the programme. Without this level of preparation, absolute beginners are encouraged to take the four-year part-time version of this course. **Highlights** - We are an international centre of excellence.

For information about course structure and the modules you will be studying, please visit Birkbeck’s online prospectus.

Each module is examined at the end of the academic year in which it is taken (usually by three-hour papers) and you must write a dissertation of 10,000 words on a subject of your choice. Every module you take includes some form of assessment and, in addition, an attendance requirement, so you will need to attend at least 60% of classes in order to pass.
