Ancient History MA

Students gain a thorough grounding in ancient history’s key aspects and approaches. They develop the ability to assess historical evidence critically and synthesise historical data from printed, manuscript, archaeological, numismatic, epigraphic, and papyrological sources. They are equipped with the tools necessary for further research in this field.

Most teaching is available at UCL, but some modules are held at other London institutions.

The programme will introduce you to skills essential to or highly desirable for almost all fields of ancient history. You will be offered practical training in those skills and be introduced to specific aspects of the ancient world at an intellectually demanding level.

In summary, the programme equips you with the tools for further research in ancient history by developing your critical and conceptual understanding of the field.
