Studying the Ancient History and History degree enables you to explore distant civilisations which remain influential today, alongside more contemporary historical disciplines addressing subjects such as history and memory of war and conflict, public history and heritage, and modern British social history. Our four-year degree helps to provide graduates with a wealth of inspiring career opportunities thanks to numerous transferable skills which are highly valued by employers. Spending a year abroad in Europe or the USA serves to boost both your student experience and your career prospects. This subject area at Swansea University ranked in the Top 30 (REF 2014) and has 93% Student Satisfaction (NSS 2017) for History. Ancient History achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 95% in the NSS 2017 and Top10 Research Quality (The Complete University Guide 2019).

An interdisciplinary approach means you engage with a range of historic cultures spanning over two millennia across Britain, the European continent and the Mediterranean world. Your initial studies will focus on the political, social and cultural history of the Greek and Roman world, in addition to modern histories of Britain and Europe. Whether your passion lies in Greek history and society, Rome’s transformation from village to Empire, or the history of religion, health and medicine, our extensive first year modules have it covered. This range gives you scope to learn, discover and refine your interests. 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. Later studies are shaped by a ‘special subject’ module focusing on one topic and culminating in an independent final year dissertation. You can take part in the ‘Literacy through Latin’ work placement project, teaching Latin to school children, and develop teaching experience by leading workshops for the South West Wales Reaching Wider Partnership. 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 around shared subject matter. Graduates of this degree have progressed to careers in sectors such as education, heritage, business, media, politics and humanitarian services.
