Classical Studies is the scholarly exploration of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds in their full complexity.

At Birkbeck College, this BA is available through part-time evening study, making it genuinely accessible to students who need to fit their degree around work or other commitments.

The programme encourages you to think rigor
