BA (Hons) Classical Studies with Foundation Year University of Winchester

Program Description

Our BA in Classical Studies blends study of history, literature, drama, mythology, archaeology, art and architecture to provide a holistic approach to the cultural and intellectual histories and legacies of ancient Greece and Rome. We offer an exciting range of modules led by experts in their fields, which may cover topics such as Gender and Sexuality, Greek Tragedy, Alexander the Great, Roman Games and Gladiators, and the Pax Romana. A Foundation Year is the perfect way to boost your academic skills, build your confidence and develop your wider subject knowledge so you can succeed at Winchester. This course offers an extra year of study at the start (Year 0) which leads onto a full degree programme (Years 1, 2 and 3). A Foundation Year is ideal if you are returning to education after a break; haven’t quite achieved the entry qualifications required; are wanting more support during the transition to studying at university; or are unsure about which subject you wish to pursue. There is no Classical languages requirement for our degree, and there is no expectation that you have studied Classical Civilisation or Ancient History at GCSE or A Level.
