Classics and Italian

About this course

Classics is the study of ancient Greece and Rome in their full depth: their languages, literatures, histories, philosophies, and material cultures. Greek and Latin are among the most intellectually demanding and rewarding languages to study, not only because they unlock access to some of the most moving and thought-provoking writing produced in any world civilisation, but because the rigour of learning them develops precision of thought and close attention to how meaning is constructed. Italian, meanwhile, is a living language that carries its own rich literary and cultural inheritance, connecting you to the culture of a major European nation and to the long continuity from ancient Rome to contemporary Italy. At St Andrews this four-year full-time programme allows you to develop both strands to a high level, with a year abroad that gives you the opportunity to study in Italy or at anoth
