Studying an Ancient and Medieval History degree enables you to explore remote civilisations which remain influential today. Your focus will traverse major periods of time and diverse subjects: from the emergence of Athenian democracy to the glories of renaissance Italy, the expansion of the Roman Empire to the Christian crusades of the Middle Ages, and the epic texts of Homer. Our three-year degree helps to provide graduates with a wealth of exciting career opportunities thanks to numerous transferable skills which are highly valued by employers. This subject area at Swansea University ranked in the top 10 for overall student satisfaction (NSS 2017). Some 94% of graduates employed or in further study 6 months after graduating (Destination of Leavers from HE survey 2015) and 70% of our students achieved a 1st class or 2.1 honours degree in 2017/18. Our interdisciplinary approach means you engage with a range of historic cultures spanning over two millennia across the European continent and the Mediterranean world. You can tailor your degree to your own interests with a variety of topics to choose from. Your initial studies will focus on the political, social and cultural history of the Greek and Roman world, as well as the transition from Classical antiquity to the Medieval world. Whether your passion lies in Greek history and society, Rome’s transformation from village to Empire, or the roots of Egyptian History, our extensive first year modules have it covered. Based on our stunning Singleton Park campus overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula, you will have the ability to tailor your degree according to your interests as you progress. The second year gives you an opportunity to study abroad for a semester in the USA, Canada, China, Hong Kong or Singapore. Later studies are shaped by a study trip or field project focusing on a specific region, and the ‘Literacy through Latin’ work placement project, teaching Latin to primary and secondary school children. Further teaching experience can be developed by leading workshops for the South West Wales Reaching Wider Partnership. Ancient and Medieval History students typically develop oral and writing skills through presenting ideas in different formats. Assessment is conducted through seminars, tutorials and group presentations, as well as independent study. Teaching is informed by a vibrant and supportive research environment that unites academics, postgraduates and visiting scholars. Our graduates have progressed to careers in sectors such as education, heritage, business, media, politics and humanitarian services. Employers have included Mercedes Benz, English Heritage and St Fagans National History Museum.
