The Department of Classics at Sapienza, which took its present form in July , spans across 25 distinct areas of research which between them cover not only Ancient Greece and Rome, but also Ancient Africa and the Near and Far East from prehistoric times to the Medieval period. At both the undergraduate and graduate level, the university offers courses on Greek and Latin language, ancient history, literature, philology, archaeology, epigraphy, the classical tradition, topography and ancient art - making it one of the most important centers for classical studies in the world.
The Department also has its own prestigious journal, and coordinates archaeological projects internationally, in Europe, Africa, and the Near and Far East. It boasts four museums, including the Museum of Classical Art - founded in and located within the Faculty of Letters -which houses well over a thousand casts of classical sculptures.
The traditional picture of research in Classics is of scholars working alone in a library; a great deal of such research continues to take place, of course, but alongside this at Oxford is a collaborative project of opening up fresh areas of study and making possible a new range of international and interdisciplinary contacts. Oxford has long been a leading center of classical research. Cambridge is a wonderful place to study Classics, with a world-renowned set of specialists, and unique resources such as the Faculty's own Museum of Classical Archaeology and the Fitzwilliam Museum's Department of Antiquities.
It also makes graduates highly marketable. Cambridge offers two undergraduate courses — a three-year one for those with an A-level or equivalent in Latin, and a four-year one for those without. The two courses are equally rich and stimulating, reflecting the wide-ranging nature of the subject. Study of Latin and Greek language and literature is central to each, but on top of that you can choose from a range of aspects including ancient history, art and archaeology, linguistics, ancient philosophy, and modern responses to classical antiquity, to tailor your own curriculum.
