Classics, BA (Hons)

Classics, BA (Hons) is a Bachelor program taught at University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years if you have little or no experience of Latin. If you) options.

Classics at the University of Cambridge is the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures, language, literature, philosophy, ancient history, art and archaeology. Students cover the history, culture, archaeology, art, philosophy and linguistics of classical antiquity, and they study original texts and artefacts. The course allows specialisation in a particular field or study across a range of topics.

Teaching includes lectures and small-group supervisions, plus language classes as needed. Assessment is through end of year exams and submitted essays, with the option in the final year to substitute an exam for a dissertation. Facilities include the Faculty of Classics library, the Museum of Classical Archaeology, and the Fitzwilliam Museum for some classes, alongside access to the Cambridge University Library.
