Course Overview

If you would like to study History across thousands of years, or choose modules covering the widest possible range of periods, Ancient History and History at Swansea is for you.

Because of the long time span this degree scheme covers, you can also investigate how later periods have understood and built on what had come before them. Put the cultures you explore in deep context and think critically about identity and socio-cultural developments, as well as the actions of history-makers in many different contexts.

You’ll get the chance to consider connections and developments across centuries and millennia, and to analyse a great variety of historical material, from ancient objects in the Egypt Centre, our in-house museum, and historical sites to recent archive material. This course will empower you to grow in yourself and to develop important analytical and interpersonal skills.

Why Ancient History and History at Swansea?

We are based in our stunning Singleton Park campus, in parkland overlooking Swansea Bay on the edge of the Gower Peninsula.

Classics and Ancient History at Swansea is ranked:

  • 2nd in the UK for Teaching Satisfaction (Guardian University Guide 2025)
  • 3rd in the UK for Teaching Quality (Times Good University Guide 2025)
  • Top 20 in the UK for Graduate Outcomes (Complete University Guide 2025)

History at Swansea is ranked:

  • Top 25 in the UK for Student Satisfaction (Complete University Guide 2025)

In Ancient History we have expertise in, and regularly publish on, areas from the Greek city states and their geographers, Cyprus through the ages, and Alexander the Great, to Roman Syria, Pompeii, and the bishops and emperors of the later Roman empire.

You can study the past outside of the lecture hall and the library, through field trips and study trip modules, and apply your knowledge in a work placement. If you have teaching in mind as a career, you can gain valuable experience with our Schools Placement module, in which you can, as part of your degree, instruct pupils in local schools in the culture of the classical world. We also offer opportunities in the heritage sector, working with local institutions, which are in accord with our civic mission and concern for our environment.

Further afield, you can choose to spend a semester abroad in your second year with one of our many partners in Australia, Asia, North America, or Europe, or choose the four-year version of this degree which includes a whole year abroad following your second year at Swansea.

You also have the opportunity to spend a Year in Industry, on a year-long professional placement, enabling you to build valuable knowledge and skills ready for your career.

Your Ancient History and History Experience

Making history, not just writing it, is as much an art as a skill. Our modules are assessed in a variety of different ways, several of them aimed at letting you flex your creative muscles and helping you to develop your experience in communicating your knowledge. You will be encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning, to work independently as well as with others, and to act professionally.

Throughout your Ancient History and History degree, you will each have a personal tutor from among the teaching staff to lend academic support. We are an inclusive, close-knit community which enjoys exploring the world beyond the classroom. Our student-run Ancient World Society organises social and cultural events, including museum trips, as does the History Society.

Ancient History and History Employment Opportunities

To enhance your career prospects, we offer the opportunity to sign up for various employability and engagement-related placements, such as the Week of Work.

Students of Ancient History typically develop excellent presentation and writing skills, related to research, analysis, and problem solving. You will learn to develop your ideas in a wide range of formats applicable to your life after university.

Our graduates enter careers in a wide range of sectors including:

  • Heritage and Tourism
  • Teaching
  • Media and Public Relations
  • Business and Management
  • Politics and Civil Service

Modules

Year 1 of your degree will include three compulsory and three optional modules, with a choice of optional topics that include The Early Modern World, Medieval Europe, Gods and Heroes, and Ancient Egyptian Society and Culture.

Year 2 has one compulsory module and five optionals, with topics including Archaic Greece, Gender in the Roman World, a Schools Placement teaching ancient history and languages, and Plato’s Republic.

Year 3 largely consists of optional modules, with choices including advanced levels of Greek or Latin, Pompeii and the Cities of Vesuvius, Plato’s Republic, The Great Depression, Ancient and Medieval Monarchy, and a compulsory Dissertation.

If you choose to undertake a Year Abroad or Year in Industry, this will take place between your second and third years of study, making your degree four years in total.

How You're Taught

We are proud to provide an outstanding educational experience, using the most effective learning and teaching approaches, carefully tailored to suit the specific needs of your course. Apart from a small number of online-only courses, most of our courses consist of in-person, on-campus teaching, enabling full engagement with your lecturers and fellow students.

Practical skills sessions, lab work seminars, and workshops predominantly take place in person, allowing for group working and demonstrations. We also operate virtual labs and Simulated Learning Environments which will facilitate greater access to training opportunities in the future. However, our approach also includes the use of some online learning to support and enhance traditional face-to-face teaching. 

Online learning may take place ‘live’ using software such as Zoom, allowing you to interact with the lecturer and other students and to ask questions. Lecture recordings also allow for more flexibility to revisit material, to revise for assessments and to enhance learning outside of the classroom. Some modules have extra resources in Canvas, such as videos, slides and quizzes enabling further flexible study.  

This course may offer some modules taught through the medium of Welsh or bilingually for students who consider themselves to be fluent Welsh speakers. For more details on the provision available see the Welsh Provision expander below.

Welsh Provision

Some provision

There are opportunities for Welsh speakers to study some elements of this course through the medium of Welsh but there is not yet enough provision to reach 40 credits in each year.

Academi Hywel Teifi is here to support you throughout your time at Swansea University. We can offer you:

  • Access to generous Welsh-language study scholarships or bursaries.
  • Access to modules taught wholly or partly in Welsh.
  • Access to the Arwain mobile app for the latest information about Welsh-medium courses and modules available to download free on the App Store and Google Play.
  • An interview through the medium of Welsh when applying for a place.
  • The option to receive your personal correspondence in Welsh, English or bilingually.
  • The option to write and submit your coursework or exams through the medium of Welsh (even if you have chosen to study in English), and your work will be marked in Welsh.
  • A Welsh-speaking Personal Tutor.
  • One-to-one support to improve your academic Welsh language skills.
  • An opportunity to gain an additional free qualification that serves as evidence of your Welsh language ability for future employers.
  • Opportunity to be a member of the Swansea University Branch of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

To learn more about the above and all the opportunities available to you through the medium of Welsh, visit Academi Hywel Teifi's undergraduate pages.

If you study at least 5 credits in Welsh and it is listed as an eligible course on the webpage, you can apply for the Academi Hywel Teifi Bursary (£100 for 1 year) at the beginning of term (after registration).

Spaces are limited and subject to a competitive selection process. In the event you do not secure a semester/year abroad placement, you will be transferred to the standard variant of your degree scheme without a semester or year abroad.

International summer programmes are open to students from all schools. Programmes typically range from 2 to 6 weeks, across destinations such as Sri Lanka, South Korea, Fiji, Bali, the USA and across Europe. For more information about programmes and eligibility visit our Summer Abroad webpages.
