Classics (including preliminary year)

Classics at Cambridge is the study of ancient Greek and Roman cultures, language, literature, philosophy, ancient history, art and archaeology. Classics covers the history, culture, archaeology, art, philosophy and linguistics of classical antiquity. You will also study original texts and artefacts.

You can either specialise in a particular field or study a range of different topics.

Our 4-year course is for you if:

• you have little or no Latin. The first year will focus on Latin language, Classical topics, and an introduction to Ancient Greek. The second, third and fourth years are identical to the 3-year course.
