Course Overview
The major part of the programme in Classical Studies, will offer students the opportunity to explore their interest in the cultures, literatures and languages of the ancient world, then this is the programme for you. A degree in Classical Studies gives you the opportunity to study a wide range of modules from mythology to religion and all genres of ancient literature, such as epic, tragedy, comedy and satire. Modules exploring the influence of the ancient world on modern popular culture, such as film and literature, are also available. Study of ancient language is an option but not compulsory. In the first year, modules can be taken on a wide range of periods and themes; in the second and third years, the School offers specialised modules on all aspects of Greco-Roman literature and culture so that you can gain in-depth knowledge in areas of particular interest to you.
Knowledge of Latin not only gives you direct access to some of the greatest works of Latin literature, such as Virgil's Aeneid, thus giving you a unique foundation for studying modern languages, for example French, Italian and Spanish. With first-hand knowledge of Latin, you can also explore all aspects of the Roman world and its heritage in the medieval and modern periods. At Trinity Saint David you can study Latin starting at any level, including beginners, and continue it throughout your degree.
