ObjectivesThe Classical Studies programme is designed for those who wish to study the classical world as a whole, with an emphasis on Greek and Roman culture and thought, and who have not studied much or any Greek or Latin before coming to university. However, we encourage the learning of Greek and Latin as fundamental to the study of the ancient world: we teach both from beginners' level up and require all our students to pass at least one language module.
