Program Overview

Our MA in the History and Archaeology of the Greek and Roman Worlds guides you into the classical past through a distinctive combination of skills. You will develop the practical and intellectual abilities to understand the full complexity of the ancient world, engaging with both its everyday realities and its most powerful ideas.

The MA in the History and Archaeology of the Greek and Roman Worlds allows you to integrate the sometimes contradictory material and textual evidence of antiquity, together with their different forms of heritage.

You will learn an unusually broad range of advanced methods in studying Greece and Rome - cultural, intellectual and archaeological - from antiquity to the 21st century. When choosing from our variety of optional modules, you can specialise in either civilisation, or study both. We invite you to join our thriving, creative, and supportive community of scholars beyond the classroom in regular postgraduate social meetings, weekly seminars, and site visits.

This one-year MA degree (which can also be taken over two years as a part-time course) allows you to develop a broad understanding of ways to analyse sites, architecture, cities, objects, texts, and archaeological data. It allows you to develop a wide range of skills in interpreting texts, objects and data related to ancient Greece and Rome, and teaches you how to ask the most important questions. The course is designed to give you a thorough training in the theories, methods, and concepts now shaping the study of the ancient world.
