Course Overview

This unique multidisciplinary Ancient Civilisations program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David allows students to study a wide variety of subjects drawing from the following fields: Near Eastern and Aegean Archaeology, Ancient History, Egyptology, Celtic Studies, Chinese Studies, the Old Testament, gender studies, religion, and iconography.

No previous knowledge of the ancient world is required for this programme, drawing as it does from a variety of different disciplines and intellectual approaches.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore ancient Egyptian religion, the Neolithic and Bronze Age of the Near East, Chinese religion, the Celts, the art of Mesopotamia and the Near East, as well as the important civilisations of Greece and Rome, and will learn how to debate various interpretations of the past that have been put forward by archaeologists, ancient historians, and other scholars. You’ll gain research skills which will be a sound basis for further study, as well as a range of important skills which can be easily transferred to the workplace.
