The Department of Classics and Ancient History, part of the
School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Exeter
University, is one of the largest in the UK, with fifteen
permanent staff members, whose interests cover the history,
literature, language and material culture of the Classical
World. The Department achieved 5A in RAE 2001 and has an
outstanding recent research record. There is a strong
postgraduate contingent of around 20 full-time PhD
students, and an annual intake of 15-20 for the MA in
Classics and Ancient History. The department offers degree
programmes in Classics, Classical Studies, Ancient History
and numerous combined programmes, with an A-level entry
requirement of AAB/ABB. Since 2001 the department has
received a major annual grant from the Leverhulme
Foundation to develop study, research and teaching in the
history, literature and culture of the Hellenistic and
Graeco-Roman periods, and this has shaped its recent
development, including the creation of an Exeter Research
Centre for Hellenistic and East Roman Culture. There are
developing inter-disciplinary links with the rest of the
school, including the Institute for Arab and Islamic
Studies.
