This Level 7 programme provides a structured exploration of Ancient History, showing how early societies shaped the world. You begin with an introductory lecture explaining the scope of Ancient History and the methods used by modern historians to analyse early civilisations.
A lecture on ancient civilisations covers Egypt, Greece, and Rome, helping you understand cultural development, leadership, religion, and daily life. These case studies highlight how Ancient History continues to influence modern political and social systems.
Another lecture focuses on archaeological evidence and material culture. You learn how artefacts, inscriptions, and monuments are interpreted and why they are vital to Ancient History research.
A lecture on warfare and political power examines how empires expanded, governed, and interacted with rival states. This strengthens your understanding of long-term change within Ancient History.
A social-history lecture explores class structure, trade, family life, and economic organisation, showing how communities functioned across different parts of the ancient world.
A religion and mythology lecture demonstrates how belief systems shaped cultural identity. You learn how historians use these sources to understand Ancient History more accurately.
The final lecture focuses on historical writing and academic communication, giving you the skills to present Ancient History research clearly and professionally.
By the end of the programme, you will have developed strong, transferable skills for engaging with Ancient History at an advanced level.
