If you choose to study Classics or Latin, you will study ancient literature in the original languages. We offer an exciting programme that combines the best traditional values of rigour and attentiveness with the latest approaches to ancient literature. In this way, you acquire a number of skills that are transferable to many situations in life and employment: not only the detailed awareness of the way language systems work and an understanding of some of the most brilliant and complex works written in any language, but also an ability to unpack the meaning of all manner of texts, from political speeches to advertising slogans.
