Classical Studies

This is an opportunity to learn about the literature, history and culture of ancient societies, such as Greece and Rome. This can include architecture, religion and philosophy.

Please note:

For classics courses, Latin or Ancient Greek may be required, but some universities may allow you to learn from scratch.

Classical studies or classic civilisation courses will consider most subjects, with a preference for essay-based subjects. Please read specific entry requirements on university websites.
