The Bachelor of Classical Studies provides students with the opportunity to study the classical world of Greece and Rome broadly, deeply, and through a variety of disciplines. Students are encouraged to study broadly across the field of classical antiquity; defined as the Greco-Roman world from the Aegean Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC) to the transition from late antiquity to the early medieval period (1000 AD). Students specialise within this large subject and emerge with a general understanding across the whole period. This program involves learning at least one of the classical languages. Students will also study ancient literature and culture, and ancient history.

A period of overseas study is strongly recommended.  The opportunity to engage directly with at least one part of the classical world and to visit archaeological sites and key museums is a very important part of the training of a student in this area.  This overseas study may be part of an approved ANU summer course, or an exchange of up to one semester with an approved partner.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this program, students should be able to:

• identify key components of Greek and Roman antiquity;
• critique and analyse major issues and controversies in Greek and Roman antiquity;
• distinguish between primary and secondary sources and critically evaluate them;
• demonstrate a working knowledge of either Ancient Greek or Latin language and familiarity with some key examples of literature in that language

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
