This programme is designed for individuals who already hold a bachelor's degree and wish to explore the field of Classical Studies without committing to another full degree. It serves as a bridging qualification, allowing you to deepen your understanding of ancient Greece and Rome and their profound influence on modern 21st-century civilisation. You will examine connections in areas such as philosophy, politics, science, law, literature, and art, and learn to critically analyse historical evidence. The interdisciplinary nature of classical studies means you can focus on aspects like history, art, mythology, or religion, developing valuable analytical and interpretive skills. The programme is delivered through a world-class distance-learning format with multimedia resources.
Curriculum
The programme can be completed in one semester of full-time study or over a longer part-time period. Specific course availability may vary annually. Students must complete a minimum of 60 credits. At least 30 credits must be chosen from specific classical studies courses.
