Content

Many of the basic concepts underlying Western society were expressed for the first time in Ancient Greek or Latin. Together with English, they are the languages of many highly influential literary works.

The joint honours programme aims to develop your critical, analytic, linguistic, and creative skills by engaging with a broad range of texts and a variety of approaches to reading.

For English Literature, you will explore the cultural contexts of writing in English from the late Middle Ages to the present. For Classics, you will explore highly influential scholarship and literature of the classical world. You will take either an Ancient Greek, Latin or non-language pathway through Classics.

In this way, studying English Literature and Classics helps us understand the contemporary world as well as the past.
