MA (Hons) Classics/Psychology in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

Classics focuses on exploring the literary works, historical accounts, artistic achievements, and physical artifacts of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Students can learn Latin and/or Greek at any stage of their studies.
Those advancing to Honours will have the chance to spend a minimum of three weeks (typically during the summer break following year 3) exploring archaeological sites and museums across Italy and Greece. Single Honours students receive financial assistance for this trip. Additionally, year 3 can be spent studying at institutions in North America, Australia, New Zealand, or Europe. The curriculum covers classical civilization, including the history, literature, and culture of early Greece and republican Rome. Students engage with Homer's epics, Herodotus' and Sallust's historical works, Plautus' comedies, and Cicero's orations. The program also examines the literature, culture, history, and politics of democratic Athens and the peak of the Roman Empire. Readings include tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, comedies by Aristophanes, Plato's dialogues, historical texts by Thucydides and Tacitus, Virgil's Aeneid, Juvenal's satires, and Petronius' groundbreaking novel. For increased flexibility, all pre-Honours Classical Civilisation courses (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) are now available online as an alternative to traditional in-person classes.

Recent graduates have pursued careers in education, government services, administration, library sciences, archival work, and museum/gallery curation.
