Classical and Archaeological Studies

Unearth the secrets of the ancient world while gaining skills, knowledge and expertise to kick start your career.

Delve into the classical world and uncover the cultures, myths, histories and legacies of the civilisations that shaped it. At Kent you will develop new skills, and gain valuable experience ready for a wide range of careers, from archaeology to the heritage industry – or further afield – a degree in classical and archaeological studies from Kent is the first step to wherever you want to go.

Join world-leading experts, including practising archaeologists and historians. You’ll study from the Minoan and Mycenean period, up to classical Greece, Republican Rome and early Christianity.

From day one you will be exploring new perspectives on topics such as migration, gender, identity, and religion in the ancient world. Develop a 21st-century approach to the fascinating, influential, and controversial civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome, and their connections with Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. You also have the option to study an ancient language, or take an internship in the heritage or museum sector. Our broad remit at Kent means you are free to turn your passions into expertise and make your degree your own.

As a Kent graduate, you will be ready to construct and lead engaging arguments, be quick to recognise context and skilled to propose alternative solutions. And your wide-ranging work with historical sources will improve your ability to think critically, take part in debate and make informed decisions, allowing you to effect change in the places you want to see it.
