Archaeology

You can explore the origins of Rome, and the process of romanisation across the Mediterranean world, up to the 5th century AD. The earliest Greek cultures of Minoan Crete and Mycenaean Greece reveal the earliest identifiable traces of Greek religion, and were part of a thriving Mediterranean exchange of goods and ideas, with Egypt and the cultures of Cyprus and the Near East. In addition, students can attend a summer school to train in field work in the Near East, at a Roman-mediaeval site in the modern kingdom of Jordan.

It is possible to undertake Honours in Classics, by specialising in Archaeology. See our recommended choice of Classics topics for your undergraduate degree, if you want to specialise in classical archaeology. Postgraduate research in Classics can be undertaken, particularly if you are interested in any aspect of the Roman world. Having at least a basic proficiency in either Latin or Greek is essential for a classical archaeologist.
