Classics and English - BA (Hons)

University of Warwick

Our Classics and English (BA) degree will enable you to study classical antiquity (its language, literature, art, material culture and thought) together with its reception in English literature through the Western tradition.If you have an interest in both Classics and English, and have studied either Latin or Ancient Greek to A level (or equivalent), this course will enable you to study classical antiquity (its language, literature, art, material culture and thought) together with its reception in English literature through the Western tradition.We are one of only a few universities in the UK to offer a combined degree that treats the two subjects as a continuum. The course examines the multiple and ever-evolving interactions between the artistic production of classical antiquity and English literature, from Shakespeare to contemporary poets, novelists and dramatists.You will study a range of modules each year. In the first and second years your modules are equally split between English and Classics, and include study of Latin or Greek texts in the original, while in your final year you can choose to weight your modules more towards Classics or English, to pursue areas of particular academic interest.
