What could I go on to do at the end of my course?
Studying Classical Civilisation will enable you to acquire knowledge and understanding of aspects of the cultures of Ancient Greece and Rome. You will also develop an awareness of the continuing influence of the classical world on later times and of the similarities and differences between the classical world and later times.
The subject works particularly well with other Arts subjects such as English Literature, History of Art and History but can effectively compliment Science subjects.
Students with a qualification in Classical Civilisation go on to study a variety of courses at university.
