This programme provides students with an in-depth grounding in three cognate subject areas: Classics, Art History, and Archaeology. Students who take this course will benefit from the inter-disciplinary study of the visual arts, archaeology, and material culture from antiquity to the present day. The first three years of the programme focus on training and building expertise and skills in the three disciplinary areas. In Art History students will learn the skills of visual analysis and learn how to read images in their social and cultural context, in Archaeology they will move from the ‘big stories’ to methods and material culture analysis, and in Classics they will use literary and historical analysis along with the visual and material evidence to reconstruct the lost worlds of the Greek and Roman past. It is expected that on completion of the third year students will have accumulated 45 credits in each subject area. Interdisciplinarity will be emphasized in Stage 3, with a core seminar on a key theme (e.g. text and image, memory, environment and culture) and a summer fieldwork project in Glendalough. The focus of the final year will be the dissertation.

1 - Use skills of inquiry, research, critical thinking, and problem solving to pursue and evaluate knowledge.
2 - Evaluate ideas, challenge assumptions and develop creative solutions to problems for example by the independent pursuit of knowledge and making connections between different disciplinary approaches and methods.
3 - Communication, collaboration, and leadership: demonstrate effective communication, digital expertise, collaboration and leadership skills to convert decisions and commitments into action.
4 - Understand the ethical implications of ideas, communications, and actions including demonstrated awareness of the historical and cultural construction of knowledge systems and traditions
5 - Understand the relevance and contribution of the Humanities and the Social Sciences to contemporary society and cultural practice including an ability to articulate the links between past and present as well as the influence of the past on shaping community and societal structures and beliefs.
6 - Articulate advocacy of human, social and cultural values with an awareness of the value of life-long learning, an understanding of how to learn, and an appreciation of the complexity of ideas, societies, cultures, artefacts, and language, both visual and textual.

Graduates will have skills in critical thinking and interdisciplinary analysis, which will prepare them for careers in: Cultural Heritage, Education, Archives, Media, Journalism, Public Service, Museums and Art Galleries, Research, and a wide range of private sector roles.

This course prepares students for graduate study in many areas including: Classics, Art HIstory, History, Film, Drama, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Education, Archives, Cultural Policy and Arts Management. Graduates are also eligible for MLitt and PhD programmes in Classics, English and History.
