Learn to think and research like a museum professional, while exploring the classical world through literature, material culture and history. Central to the course is the hands-on experience you will gain at our three onsite museums, including the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology, which is situated in the Department of Classics.

Discover the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome; choose to learn Latin or Greek, study ancient literature, and broaden your knowledge of these worlds through optional modules. Consider the environment in which artefacts are displayed, how they are catalogued, and the meanings they hold for different audiences.

Learn from our experienced museum teaching staff, including curators, conservators and archivists.

Use your transferable skills in a variety of sectors, including heritage and museums, libraries and archives, the government and civil service, law, publishing, finance and media.

Past graduates have gone on to careers in fields including museums, publishing, communications, teaching, marketing, public relations, as well as further postgraduate study.
