Course Description
Do you want to uncover the significance of historical facts and events – from the transformation of the Roman Empire from polytheism to Christianity, to the importance of slavery in the ancient world?
This course is designed for talented UK students with a passion for ancient history but whose personal circumstances make achieving our usual entry requirements difficult. This could be your opportunity to study your subject of choice at a top 20 UK university (Times Higher Education Rankings 2023).
Through a range of engaging modules spanning the arts and humanities, the foundation year gives you an opportunity to develop key skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and digital capability. Your foundation year tutors will support you in developing the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence for undergraduate study.
During the foundation year, you will be a full member of the university, with all the opportunities this offers, including the same accommodation options as direct-entry students.
Upon progressing from the foundation year to the three-year Ancient History BA you'll take modules integrating history, art, archaeology, literature and culture. You will also see how the ancient world influences popular culture. The study of either Greek or Latin is optional, and you do not need any previous knowledge.
