Undergraduate Admissions to The Faculty of Classics

Cambridge Classics is now open to a wider range of applicants than ever. Today we offer two undergraduate courses — one for those with an A-level or equivalent in Latin and/or Greek, and the other for those without. Both courses provide a rich and stimulating programme of study, which reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject. The learning of Latin and Greek language and literature is central to each. You then choose from a range of aspects including ancient history, art and archaeology, linguistics, philosophy and post-Renaissance responses to classical antiquity, to tailor your own curriculum.

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions with answers.

Please see the University prospectus online for general information about the Classics course or continue to our pages dedicated to the Four-Year and Three-Year Degree.

The University website also offers information on the colleges, life at Cambridge, the application process, fees and funding, and open days and events.

If you prefer to do a degree which combines either Greek or Latin with a modern language, this is also possible through Cambridge ’s Modern and Medieval Languages course.
