Bachelor of Classical Studies

Delve into the classical world of Greece and Rome through a variety of disciplines at Australia's leading university.

You will study broadly across the field of classical antiquity, defined as the Greco-Roman world from the Aegean Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC) to the transition from late antiquity to the early medieval period (500 AD).

Our program ensures that you gain an understanding of the whole period, plus a focus of your choosing and at least one of the classical languages. This flexible program also gives you access to other disciplines such as archaeology or art history.

You will be encouraged to take part in an overseas study course in Italy, Greece or Turkey. You will experience the classical world and visit archaeological sites and key museums, all as part of an approved course counting towards your degree.

Course selection

Enrolling for the first time can seem like a big task. Below, you will find an example enrolment pattern for your first year of study.

There are a few items to note:

• Courses coded in the 1000 range are appropriate for first-year students. We strongly recommend that students new to tertiary study enrol in first-year courses during their first semester.

• We recommend you start a CASS Program Plan. This is a way to track how the courses you take fit within the overall structure of your degree and will help you pick your later year courses.
• The tables below represent only one possible combination. You are welcome to pick and choose from any other 1000-coded course found under the "Study Tab".
• The tables below assume you are new to tertiary study and ineligible for course credit.
• A step-by-step guide on how to enrol in courses is available on the Enrol for the First time webpage.
