Course summary

Classical Studies

The MA (Hons) in Classical Studies is a degree of remarkable range and depth. It includes not only the study of Greek and Roman literature but also the social and cultural history of the classical world, its philosophy, religion and art, and the reception of Greek and Roman culture in the modern world. Classical studies at St Andrews will allow you to discover and debate – among many other things – the power of Greek tragedy, the imposing beauty of Roman sculpture and the twists and turns of Platonic dialogue. The course encourages new ways of seeing both the classical world and the world of today.

All classical texts are studied in English translation. There is no requirement for ancient languages. There are opportunities to learn both Latin and Greek at beginner’s or more advanced levels and to take them further if you wish to. You will also be able to supplement your classical studies courses with complementary subjects such as ancient history, archaeology, and ancient philosophy.

Italian

From fashion and food to art and literature, music and cinema, Italian culture has a global presence well beyond the borders of Italy and spanning centuries. The Italian language is the key to fully unlocking and engaging with this rich and influential culture from the inside.

Courses in Italian take place in relatively small groups at all levels, which helps teachers follow your progress closely. St Andrews has particular expertise in:

  • Italian literature from the 13th to the 21st centuries
  • contemporary transnational Italian identities and material culture
  • Italian cinema in the 20th and 21st centuries
  • Renaissance and Reformation intellectual culture
  • colonial and postcolonial Italy
  • Italian migration and diaspora.
