Course description

This course provides students with the opportunity to pursue in-depth study in the area of classical studies while completing a bachelors degree or double degree in other fields. Students explore concepts and the relationship that the poetic epics of the 21st century, the civilisations of Ancient Greece and Rome have with contemporary Western culture. In classical studies, they explore the Greek and Roman world through myth, culture and literature, including epic poetry and theatre, and through the Latin and Ancient Greek languages themselves. Texts can be studied both in translation and in their original languages.
