Classical Studies
University of LiverpoolLiverpool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Classical Studies allows you to study the society and culture of the Greek and Roman worlds, including their art, religion, history, and archaeology, studying their literary and visual cultures against the backdrop of the history of the period. By examining a range of literary, documentary and visual evidence, you will develop critical skills of interpretation and understanding of methodological problems, plus knowledge of core theories, concepts and approaches. At the same time, you’ll learn how to read, describe and comment upon current research, promoting insights into the history of the discipline and encouraging you to tackle questions of central interest today, taking particular advantage of the research specialisms of Liverpool staff.
The Classical Studies programme also invites students to explore the close relationship between the Graeco-Roman world and modern responses to it. In addition, you have the chance to further broaden your understanding of Ancient Greek and Roman society and culture while studying Ancient Greek or Latin from beginner to advanced.
