Online Ancient History Classical Archaeology Degree :: Accredited Universities

Launched in 2012, our BA in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology brings together the two disciplines into a single undergraduate distance learning programme for the first time and as such we believe it is unique. The course is based on our extensive experience in developing and teaching both archaeology and ancient history courses and our world-leading research.

Our modules cross the traditional academic boundaries of archaeology and ancient history, enabling you to gain a wider knowledge in your chosen area. There are opportunities for you to develop and enhance your practical skills, and employability skills are embedded throughout our curriculum.

Consequently, our courses are highly valued by employers who will recognise the key transferable and subject-specific skills gained. Our courses will enable you to focus on your specific interest, and enable progression in archaeology, ancient history, museums, or elsewhere.

This course will:

Enable you to pursue your personal interest in the classical world.

Introduce you to key issues in the study of the past through textual and material remains and to reflect on the contrasting and complementary images that these approaches generate.
Introduce you to two ancient languages.

Develop your skills in textual analysis and the interpretation of archaeological information.

We will provide you with an intellectually challenging and stimulating curriculum which draws on the full expertise of members of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History and our proven track record of delivering archaeology by distance learning and which will enable you to develop transferable skills necessary for successful career development or further academic study.

This course is designed for those seeking to become researchers in Archaeology and/or Ancient History, or to enhance their professional careers in archaeology, classical studies, museum or related contexts, as well as for existing professionals in heritage or related fields who have a particular interest in this area. Geographically, coverage within the School extends fully from southern Gaul to North Africa and Syria to enable coherent analysis of the whole Mediterranean. With many ancient historians as well as classical archaeologists among our staff we are uniquely placed to explore this material. Students also study the theoretical implications of text and material culture in a variety of contexts and methodologies available from other forms of historical archaeology.

The course seeks to question the ways in which the classical past may be reconstructed, to identify the interplay and debate between sources (physical and written), and to interrogate current understandings and perceptions of Greek to Roman societies across the span of the Mediterranean.

Entry Requirements

Normally an upper second class (2.1) honours degree in Archaeology, Ancient History, Classical Studies or a cognate subject with appropriate archaeological content, or its equivalent. Individual cases where the applicant has a minimum of five years’ professional experience in an appropriate field will be considered on their merits. Bridging modules are also offered for those graduates without a suitable first degree.
