What the college says

Classical Civilisation is the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures. The ultimate humanities subject, it comprises a wide range of disciplines, from literature to art and archaeology, to politics, history and economics, mythology and philosophy. You will study works of epic and lyrical poetry, works of philosophy, tragedies, comedies, and you will develop an understanding of how these disciplines interrelate in order to think critically and creatively about the foundations of Western culture and society. Many students progress to degree courses in Classics. It is also excellent preparation for degrees in Literature, History, Politics, Philosophy, Law and Drama/Theatre Studies. It is widely recognised as highly beneficial for a huge variety of career paths, including journalism, banking, politics, the creative arts, the fine art market, and academia.
