Course Summary

From the epic poetry of Homer to the archaeology of the Roman Empire, the MA in Classics and Ancient History at Leeds offers you the opportunity to study the ancient Mediterranean world in all its diversity. Spanning literature, history, philosophy, religion, and material culture, this programme allows you to explore the ancient world on your own terms, supported by expert staff and access to exceptional local resources.

Classics at Leeds is grounded in a rich tradition of interdisciplinary teaching and research. You’ll encounter a range of approaches to the ancient past - from critical text-based methods to new ways of thinking about gender, empire, reception, and materiality. You’ll be encouraged to engage with ancient sources in their original languages or in translation, and to consider how the past continues to shape the present.

Leeds is uniquely positioned as the only university in the region offering a dedicated MA in Classics and Ancient History. Students benefit from close working relationships with partners in the city, and the University’s Cultural Collections, which house rare books and artefacts from the ancient world. Through these partnerships, you'll have the opportunity to undertake placements and pursue original research using real archival material.
