Department of Classics

Welcome to the King's Classics web-pages.
 
We are a Department of Ancient History and of Classical Art and Archaeology, as well as of Greek and Latin language, literature and thought, with a tradition stretching back nearly 180 years, to our foundation in 1831. We are one of the largest and best in the country, with 250 undergraduate students and 20 full-time academic staff.
 
We are top-rated for both teaching and research, and have received outstanding results in the National Student Survey in both 2007 and 2008.  
 
We have a thriving graduate community of around 50 MA and PhD students, and send our undergraduates on to careers in everything from law to broadcasting, via heritage management, publishing, teaching and accountancy, as well as to further study. Six different nationalities are represented among our staff, and our student body too is increasingly international at both undergraduate and graduate level.
