In this programme of study, the 'Classics' is used as an umbrella term that will take you back to Ancient Greece, where you will academically familiarise yourself with the mythology, society, literature and linguistics, history and art of the Greek Islands. During your course of studies you will be able to have a basic understanding of the Greek and Latin languages and read key texts in their respective original languages. You will be able to understand the influence that this ancient world has had on our contemporary one, while also enriching your cultural and historic mindset by participating in interdisciplinary action. You are also encouraged to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility period, for a multicultural and diversified learning experience.

In the undergraduate course in philosophy, we will help enrich and refine your philosophical knowledge by providing in depth and intricate lectures on the multifaceted nature of its school of thoughts. During the course you will gain a holistic perspective on the development of philosophical thought through our taught and research curriculum, lecture debates, assignments and presentations. We will equip you with an accuracy for critical thought, sceptical analysis and a heightened sense of observational and analytical skills that will be fruitful in both of your personal life and field of work. We also encourage you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a diverse and multicultural academic learning experience.
