The great strength of the Classical and Archaeological Studies and Philosophy (Hons)Êprogramme fromÊUniversity of KentÊis the hugely interesting and varied range of subjects it includes Ð literature, mythology, drama, archaeology, art and architecture, history and languages, as well as philosophy Ð and the way they all connect in the study of ancient civilisations, including those of Egypt, Greece, Rome and their neighbours. At Kent, you also have the opportunity to learn Latin or Ancient Greek, which are taught at beginners, intermediate and advanced levels.

As a student of Philosophy at Kent, you do not so much learn about philosophy as learn to do it yourself. This includes not only studying major philosophies and philosophers, but also contributing your own ideas to an ongoing dialogue. You develop the ability to connect the most abstract ideas to the most concrete things in our experience.

Through taking Classical & Archaeological Studies in combination with Philosophy, you are able to appreciate the writings of the ancient Greek and Roman philosophers that shape our world today, and appreciate their historic and cultural context.Ê
