Why study Ancient History?

Courses in the Ancient History major enable students to explore the daily lives of Ancient Mediterranean peoples, particularly the Greeks and Romans, through the study of their history, politics, social customs, literature, drama, philosophy, religion, mythology, warfare, art and architecture. Many courses also enrich learning experiences by providing unique opportunities for students to develop transferable workplace skills through the incorporation of ancient artefacts from UQ's R.D. Milns Antiquities Museum, work-integrated learning opportunities, authentic assessment tasks and overseas travel experiences. The Ancient History major helps students to think critically and innovatively, form evidence-based persuasive arguments, develop advanced written and oral communication skills, and undertake high level research. Students have the opportunity both to study ancient influences on modern institutions and ideas, and to engage with issues which are still important in the modern world, including ethical and responsible behaviour, personal bias, and equity and diversity.
