Classics (Literae Humaniores) is a wide-ranging degree devoted to the study of the literature, history, philosophy, languages and archaeology of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It is one of the most interdisciplinary of all subjects, and offers the opportunity to study two foundational ancient civilisations and their reception in modern times. The degree permits students also to take extensive options in modern philosophy, a flexibility which makes Oxford different from most other Classics courses. The breadth of subjects studied and variety of skills learned to a high level leave Classics graduates in high demand among employers. Occupations for Classics graduates have recently included teaching, the Civil Service, finance, the media, software development, film production, conducting, NHS administration, consultancy, accountancy, the law, medicine, publishing and further classical study.
