Many ideas and concepts that we value were developed - and debated - by communities whose similarities and differences from our own continue to be thought provoking. Your major progresses from junior units which lay a foundation for your future study by providing key training and skills, through to senior (intermediate and then advanced) units that focus on developing your skills and treat particular themes or periods in detail. It is designed to help you to understand the historical and cultural importance of the Classical world and to evaluate the legacy of that world today.
