Certificate in Languages - Ancient Greek
Study of the Ancient Greek language uncovers the origins of many words and ideas in our modern English language, such as within democracy, theatre, rhetoric, and psychology; and offers insights to contemporary concepts and global issues.
Knowledge of the language offers a richer understanding of Ancient Greece and its history of western politics, architecture, literature, and philosophy that have had such a huge influence on the world today.
Students will also find studying this subject especially useful for postgraduate studies in Classics.
