The Classics Department focuses on exploring the ancient Mediterranean cultures of Greece and Rome, which form the foundation of Western civilization's history and traditions. Students engaging with Classical studies encounter diverse subjects and research approaches, such as Ancient History, Archaeology, Art History, Latin and Greek languages, Linguistics, Etymology, Mythology, Literary and Dramatic Arts, Religious Studies, and the Foundations of Western Philosophy. While advanced Greek and Latin language courses are available, most departmental offerings don't require proficiency in these ancient languages.
The Faculty of Arts offers extensive academic choices and dynamic educational experiences. An Arts degree cultivates critical thinking, creativity, communication abilities, and problem-solving techniques that open doors to numerous career possibilities.
