Course Information

Discover the ancient Greco-Roman world, and take the opportunity to join an archaeological dig and study abroad, with our BA Ancient History and Archaeology degree.

At the University of Reading, our BA Ancient History and Archaeology joint degree combines the study of ancient history – and its political, military, social and cultural contexts – with invaluable archaeological training.

Through your study of ancient history, you’ll immerse yourself in the rich culture of Greece and Rome from around 2000BC to 600AD and discover how these ancient civilisations have influenced the modern world. Your archaeological studies will take you further back in time, broaden the geographical focus, and enable you to experience the excitement of genuine discovery.
