As part of the Classics MA, you’ll explore the traditions and practices of classical studies, investigate different scholarly methodologies, and develop skills in the analysis of textual, visual, and other material. You will gain familiarity and exposure to graduate-level research and writing in ancient studies within a global framework and the tools necessary for further research, including training in the use of digital resources online, library catalogues and archives.
The course is suitable for students with either Greek or Latin or ancient Middle Eastern language at advanced – typically BA – level, who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of the languages and literatures of ancient Greece, Rome and the ancient Middle East, with a view to progress on to further research or as a qualification in its own right.
The Classics MA offers a wide range of skills highly valued by employers, such as advanced oral communication; the ability to abstract and synthesise information, and to construct and manage arguments; independent and critical thinking on difficult issues; IT skills, including the ability to access and evaluate data; and good time management, organisational, and planning skills.
The MA is an ideal springboard for a PhD course, and you will find unique opportunities to acquire skills in the handling of documentary evidence, particularly valuable for further research.
Some students go on to pursue research and further study at UCL or other institutions. Others have developed their skills in order to enter careers in teaching or other educational activities, publishing, journalism or translation, law, or the performance and creative arts sectors.*
