Classical Civilisation and Philosophy BA

This wide-ranging joint honours degree allows you to study the full range of ideas, thinkers and approaches in philosophy, while gaining an understanding of the classical societies that laid the foundations of Western philosophical thought.

You’ll explore the literature, culture, politics and history of ancient Greek and Roman societies through core modules, as well as discovering the key issues, concepts and ways of thinking in philosophy. But because our research interests are so diverse, we can also offer a wide range of optional modules where you can focus on the topics and methods that interest you.

From Plato and Socrates to the Latin novel, philosophy of science to Greek art and society, Augustus’ legacy to logic, this degree is a fantastic opportunity to study across disciplines, cultures and eras – all while gaining an impressively broad range of skills.
