The course is designed for students who wish to explore a particular area of classics in special depth, primarily by independent work, but don't feel able to commit themselves to 3 years of full-time study (or its part-time equivalent) for a doctorate; students attend lectures and seminars forming part of other modules and have regular sessions with their subject adviser, with the aim of developing research skills and knowledge of their chosen field in preparation for the dissertation.Greek and Roman Studies focus on the civilizations of the Mediterranean area, the Near East, and Western Europe in ancient and medieval times.To understand the modern world we need to know its historical foundations and traditions. Looking at these helps us to see ourselves in better perspective and gain understanding of other cultures. Most modern fields of thought, belief and creativity began and developed in ancient and medieval times, so this field has links with many others and offers a valuable complement to many other programs.Research in Greek and Roman Studies is based on the many writings and material remains which have survived from ancient times or are even now being rediscovered. These range from everyday materials and records of human living to classic masterpieces of literature and art. Areas of study include history, politics, social and economic organization, languages, literature and ideas, religions, art, science and technology.
