Ancient Languages

About this course

Ancient languages is one of the most distinctive degrees available in the humanities, offering training in an unparalleled range of languages from the ancient world and their associated histories, cultures, and textual traditions. As University College London describes it, students study Hebrew and either Greek or Latin throughout the programme, plus up to three additional languages chosen from a wide selection including Akkadian, Aramaic, Egyptian, Sumerian, Syriac, and Ugaritic. These are the languages of some of the oldest and most significant civilisations in human history, the languages in which the Hebrew Bible and New Testament were written, in which the laws, literature, and religious thought of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant were expressed, and which provide direct access to some of the most important archives and texts ever produced.
