Classics Short Course in Italy

Universities in Italy are very affordable compared to their counterparts in Western Europe, and the quality of education is undeniable. Italy has always been and remains a cradle of culture and education. In fact, the University of Bologna is the oldest university in Europe, having been opened in 1088. Fashion and Architecture are the stand-out areas where Italian universities are second to none, but there are other English-taught degrees to choose from. In your spare time, you can enjoy the lovely Mediterranean climate, the sea breeze, and tasty food while exploring unique historic sites, such as the Colosseum or the Pantheon in Rome.

A Classics degree is dedicated to the study of ancient Greece and Rome, including studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages, philosophy, and archaeology. The programme gives you a well-rounded understanding of these two civilisations that transformed the ancient world. Specialisations in Classics include classical languages, philosophy, literature, art and architecture, and archaeology. Throughout the programme, you will gain proficiency in ancient languages, learn to analyse texts and artefacts, explore ancient philosophy, develop archaeological skills, and acquire advanced research abilities so that you can build a career in academia, archaeology, or cultural institutions.
