Classics MA

Learn from international experts while enjoying unrivalled access to the rich resources London offers for studying the ancient world. The Classics MA is taught by UCL Greek & Latin in collaboration with King's College London and Royal Holloway, University of London. You’ll study the languages, literatures and cultures of ancient Greece and Rome while developing critical thinking skills, paving the way towards a raft of career options. As part of the Classics MA, you'll explore the traditions and practices of classical studies, investigate different scholarly methodologies, and develop skills in the analysis of textual, visual, and other material. You will gain familiarity and exposure to postgraduate-level research and writing in ancient studies within a global framework and the tools necessary for further research, including training in the use of digital resources online, library catalogues and archives. The course is suitable for students with either Greek or Latin or ancient Middle Eastern language at advanced - typically BA - level, who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of the languages and literatures of ancient Greece, Rome and the ancient Middle East, with a view to progress on to further research or as a qualification in its own right.
