Course summary

This Classics and the Ancient World MA focuses on the literature, language, and culture of the ancient world and their later reception. In this degree, you can explore classical texts and thought in their ancient context as well as how the classical world has been reflected in later periods and consider how the ancient world has shaped the modern.
