Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Classical Studies

Delve into the classical world and uncover the cultures, myths, histories and legacies of the civilisations that shaped it. At Kent, students will develop new skills, and gain valuable experience ready for a wide range of careers, from archaeology to the heritage industry - or further afield - a degree in classical studies from Kent is the first step to wherever students want to go. Join world-leading experts, including practising archaeologists and historians. Students study from the Minoan and Mycenean period, up to classical Greece, Republican Rome and early Christianity.

From day one, students will be uncovering new perspectives on topics such as migration, gender, identity, and religion in the ancient world and have the opportunity to explore classical culture, from literature to drama or philosophy. Students also have the option to study an ancient language. Broad remit at Kent means students are free to follow their passions and make this degree your own.

This course offers an optional pathway in archaeology, leading to the degree of Classical Studies with Archaeology. Students will receive training in excavation techniques on dig sites with Kent's practicing field archaeologists, and may make their own discoveries that contribute to the knowledge of the ancient world. Students will also be introduced to archaeological equipment in the University's state-of-the-art archaeology lab, and will have the opportunity to build their network of professional contacts within the industry. If students choose to accept their offer of a place on BA Classical Studies at Kent, they will be automatically sent instructions on how to register for the Archaeology Pathway prior to enrolment in September.
