To assess student suitability for their chosen course we normally arrange interviews for all applicants at which your skills, achievements and life experience will be considered as well as your qualifications.

There is no one path for our Classics graduates. The traditional routes of teaching, the civil service and research — governmental, academic and media — are still pursued by our graduating cohort.

However, the programme of embedded employability offered by our degrees at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David ensures that our Classics graduates have the skills set and confidence to explore a wide variety of career paths.

Graduates of the BA in Classics are well-suited to a teaching career, as teachers of classical languages are currently much sought after in the UK.
