As contemporary channels of internet and television make world events more immediate and accessible, the ancient world is becoming more relevant in the lessons it has to offer. Increasingly, economists, politicians and lawmakers are considering past histories and their relevance to future policy and strategy. Many graduates also use their degrees more directly in teaching, museums or archaeology.
Ancient History Ancient History in St Andrews comprises the study of ancient Greece and Rome, and of neighbouring peoples such as the Persians and Carthaginians. You study the period from the beginning of Greek writing and urbanism in the eighth century BCE to the collapse of the western Roman empire during the fifth century CE. Geographically the subject is centred on the Mediterranean World, but at times is extended from the Persian Gulf to the Clyde and from the Crimea to the Sahara. Students today are as likely to be studying ancient religion as ancient warfare, gender studies as political institutions and the origins of Christianity in the age of Augustus. The subject is vast and growing every day, especially through new archaeological research and through interdisciplinary collaborations.
Ancient History is taught by a team of internationally acclaimed scholars. Together we offer not just modules on Greece and Rome but also on archaeological or literary topics. Friendly contact is established from the start through small tutorial groups that enable you to get to know the staff and other students very quickly. All our Ancient History staff share the lecturing in first year.
Ancient History & Archaeology Archaeology is integrated into a number of modules within the School of Classics. At the start the emphasis is on learning to use archaeological and historical sources together. Ancient History modules provide a basic introduction to archaeology as well as showing how archaeology as a primary source can be used in the construction of histories and in understanding everyday life
