Single Honor Classics
Ancient Greek and Latin languages lie at the very core of how we speak, write and intellectualise our thoughts. Trinity has a long established and internationally recognised degree in Classics. It concentrates on the study of the original of the great works of Greek and Latin literature in a wide range of genres, including epic, drama, lyric poetry, philosophy and history. Ancient history and elements of Classical art and archaeology are studied in conjunction with the Greek and Latin languages and literatures. This encourages a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to classical culture.
