The University of Western Australia
Bachelor of Arts (Classics and Ancient History)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationGreek and Roman cultures lie at the very foundation of the modern world and we are surrounded by their legacies – from political theory to sport, from religion to architecture, we are in many ways heirs to the classical tradition. This major combines the history, languages, literature, religions, and material culture of the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations to give you a holistic picture of this vibrant and eternally relevant era. The Greeks and the Romans struggled with many of the same crucial issues as we do: the rise and fall of great powers, the consequences of imperialism, religious tensions, and changing gender roles and expectations. UWA is the only university in Western Australia where you can study this major.
