Embark on a journey through the ancient world with the Classical Studies Bachelors Degree at the University of Kent. This programme is designed for curious minds eager to explore the foundational cultures, myths, histories, and enduring legacies of the civilisations that have profoundly shaped our present. You will engage with critical issues such as migration, gender, identity, and religion in antiquity, gaining a nuanced understanding of societies from the Minoan and Mycenaean periods through to classical Greece, Republican Rome, and early Christianity. This is your opportunity to uncover new perspectives and develop a deep appreciation for the classical world.
You will study this fascinating subject full-time on campus over three years, immersing yourself in a curriculum that balances foundational knowledge with cutting-edge research. Compulsory modules introduce you to key aspects of classical civilisation and archaeology, while optional modules allow you to tailor your studies, perhaps even exploring an ancient language or delving into the practicalities of archaeological fieldwork. You will have the chance to work alongside practising archaeologists and historians, potentially contributing to real discoveries. Graduates are prepared for diverse careers in heritage, education, research, and beyond, equipped with analytical, research, and communication skills highly valued by employers.
