Study the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, through their material remains including; sculpture, funerary art, topography and visual cultures.
The programme focuses on the ancient Mediterranean world broadly defined: not just the archaeology of Greece and Rome but also areas of the Near East and north-western Europe. Should your interests lie in a field that overlaps a related subject area, you’ll appreciate our interdisciplinary approach, which allows you to draw on the experience of staff throughout the School.
By choosing this degree, you’ll have access to the expertise of our academics who are all passionate about the classical period and its art, social history and archaeology. By choosing courses of interest to you, each student’s programme will be different, and a further element of personalisation is provided in the choice of dissertation topic.
Classical Archaeology students also attend the weekly Classics Research Seminars, and form their own subsection of a lively graduate community in Classics.
You will need a UK 2:1 honours degree, a minimum US 3.25 GPA or international equivalent, in a subject related to this programme. An undergraduate degree in classics, classical civilization, ancient history or classical archaeology is preferred. Applicants with an Honours degree in another subject will also be considered, but will need to demonstrate in their personal statement why they are equipped to undertake the programme.
Relevant experience or professional or other qualifications will be considered.
