Three subjects are offered within the BA degree in Classics at University College Dublin, which students can take separately or combine:

  • Greek & Roman Civilization
  • Latin
  • Greek

Greek & Roman Civilization explores the Classical World, through history, literature, art, archaeology, mythology and philosophy. You do not need any previous knowledge of the subject, nor will you have to learn ancient languages.

Latin and Greek allow you to learn a language from scratch or develop your existing knowledge. Learn to read works by authors such as Cicero, Homer, Ovid, Plato, Sophocles and Virgil, in their original languages.
