This unique multidisciplinary Ancient Religions programme provides a comparative analysis of different religious traditions across the ancient world, beyond Greece and Rome as far afield as ancient Egypt, Celtic Britain and ancient China.

You will have the opportunity to debate the origins of organised religious practices and explore the earliest temples in southwest Asia, engage with the religions of the Bronze Age Mediterranean, meet the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt, and explore the sacred landscapes of north west Europe. Other modules will introduce you to the myths of ancient Greece and Rome, cosmology, magic and divination in the classical world and the texts of the Old Testament.

The programme is very flexible to suit your research interests.
