Unearth Ancient History by immersing yourself in the political, social and cultural worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome.


If you are fascinated by the history of the Greeks and Romans, this is the course for you. We will introduce you to the world of Ancient Greece and Rome, and their interactions with each other and other Mediterranean societies.


In your first year you will focus on core topics in Greek and Roman History, at different points in their history. This will prepare you for a wide range of more specific historical modules about Politics, Culture and Society in the ancient world in your second and third years. At least half of your course in your second and third years will concentrate on historical topics.


The course includes the option to start learning Greek or Latin, and if you have prior knowledge of these languages you can choose to study higher level modules. And if you wish, you can broaden your degree by selecting modules about Ancient Art, Literature, Science or Philosophy, or by choosing other topics that interest you from other Departments.


Our students acquire many skills which are readily transferable to a whole range of professions. You will learn to search for, gather and process information, to evaluate evidence and to express yourself clearly and succinctly, both verbally and in writing.


Classics graduates have progressed to careers as diverse as computing, the Civil Service, gold dealing, teaching, journalism, law, accountancy, public relations and the theatre. A significant number of our students progress onto higher level study following their degree. Some remain within their academic field of interest and pursue a Master’s degree, either at Durham or elsewhere. Others choose professional postgraduate programmes in subjects such as law, finance and teaching.


Durham University: Inspiring the Extraordinary

We believe that inspiring our people to do outstanding things at Durham enables Durham people to do outstanding things in the world.

A globally outstanding centre of teaching and research excellence, a collegiate community of extraordinary people, a unique and historic setting - Durham is a university like no other!
