Discover: The Department of Classics and Archaeology

The Department of Classics and Archaeology, which bears a legacy of teaching the Classics that goes back to the University’s foundation in 1769, is a friendly and energetic department dedicated to teaching and study of the ancient world and archaeological practice to local, visiting, and overseas undergraduate and postgraduate students. We have an active research programme that also includes a number of international collaborations in the fields of prehistory, the history of archaeology, maritime archaeology, and environmental archaeology. Most of our graduates have gone on to pursue careers in field archaeology, museums, heritage management, teaching, advertising, civil service, and academia, locally and overseas.

[Music] I like studying the classics for the XS the classics can give you to other fields of knowledge and academic disciplines a range of studies in fact ranging from philosophy psychology religion Media Studies and film studies to history literature archeology archeology is a fascinating discipline and we are very lucky that on Walter we are surrounded by a wealth of archaeological heritage there's a lot of techniques involved in the course from handling pottery and a lot of different objects
to surveying with drones and total stations and important aspects of the course is the practical fieldwork that happens once a year I think that classics has always been perceived as something more dearly or a subject that's not very accessible for all but for me personally coming here that that couldn't be further from the truth our department offers the student the opportunity to study classics at an undergraduate level where the program consists mainly in the study of the two languages ancien
t languages Greek and Latin from a beginner's level Marcus Antonius Kaiser is a Miko's rostra is candid at or autonomy at populum Hobart Sena Sena make Roy senior Limpy ooh a thorough oil son beyond that the Department of Archaeology also offers research masters as well as PhDs when I decided to pursue for a PhD my first choice was this department here I would find all my primary resources studying this kind of subject more that gives you the benefit that you're surrounded by archaeology everywh
ere you go students tends to feel very much at home when they study in this department so I encourage all the students to come over have a word and we'll take it from there [Music]
