First year programme - Flexible Combined Honours

Xanten, Germany, reconstructed Roman city gateway In the first two years, your study of ancient history consists of following any two of these themes:

  • Greek and Roman History
  • Greek and Roman Historical Writers
  • Greek and Roman Society
  • Politics

Each of the themes alternates between Greek and Roman in consecutive years, i.e. according to when you start, you will either follow 'Greek then Roman' or 'Roman then Greek' modules in years 1 and 2 respectively.
