Classics BA (Hons)

Reino Unido

¿Qué aprenderé?

Our BA Classics course will enable you to study Greek and/or Latin language and literature while also exploring the political, social and intellectual history of the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations. You can learn either or both ancient languages, and tailor your course unit options to focus on Greek or Latin language and literature together with Ancient History, depending on where your interests lie.The programme is structured so that you begin your study of ancient languages at the right place for you, dependent on your previous experience. You can choose to study only Latin, only Greek, or both languages, the only constraints being that (a) you must continue with at least one language throughout the three years of the programme, and (b) you cannot take the year-long beginners' course in both languages in the same year, as experience shows that this is almost always detrimental to success. For example, if you have no or limited previous experience of either language, you could take our intensive beginners' Latin course in during your first year.In the second year, you would progress to the Advanced Latin 1 unit and could, if you so choose, take the intensive beginners' Greek course at the same time. Another option would be to pick up the intensive beginners' course in Greek only in your third year, alongside Advanced Latin 2. If you have already gained A-level Latin or equivalent before arriving, you would take Advanced Latin 1 in your first year, reaching Advanced Latin 3 by your third year. Alongside Latin, you could (but are not required to) take the appropriate level of ancient Greek, starting at any stage.All the possible routes described above can also be taken with the two languages the other way round, mutatis mutandis (‘with the things that need to be changed having been changed').Where appropriate, the texts for literary and historical course units are studied partly in the original language.Study with us and you'll also have access to exclusive resources such as the Special Collections of the John Rylands Research Institute and Library (home to papyri, medieval manuscripts and early printed books including very early copies of the Homeric poems) and the Manchester Museum (the University's own on-campus holdings), with its world-class Egyptology collections.You'll be taught by experts in Greek and Roman language, literature, culture and history. You will be able to choose from course units covering topics such as Latin love poetry, Greek myth, ancient epic and the literature of exile. Optional units are also available in a wide range of topics in Ancient History and Archaeology and in areas as diverse as Greek philosophy and Egyptology.
