3.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Egyptology and Ancient History (Honours Select 50:50)

Program Description

This University of Liverpool programme is designed to deliver a partial yet coherent programme in Ancient Egypt as students divide their time equally between Egyptology and another subject. Egyptology, being the study of a specific human culture, shares approaches with many core subjects in the Faculty. As a result, studying 50% Egyptology would work particularly well with a large number of other programmes both ancient (eg archaeology, classics and ancient history) and more modern (eg english, sociology, history, languages or politics).

In the Ancient History programme students can combine a study of the social, political, and cultural history of ancient Greece and Rome equally with another subject. Students will have the chance to study a wide range of periods and themes in social and cultural history. In Year One, students develop their knowledge of the main themes and events in Greek and Roman history, and the skills required to assess them. Year Two broadens students' knowledge and improves the skills they have acquired. Students will study ancient texts and reflect on the nature of history. Year Three modules center on key figures and themes reflecting the research interests of the Department. Students have the option of writing a dissertation on a research topic of their choice.
