Wadham is one of the colleges most committed to Classics and Ancient History. Wadham has an excellent tradition of integration across courses and years, promoted through regular social and academic events. The college has a distinctive commitment to outreach; our students are regularly involved in teaching Latin in local schools through the Iris project, and we host the East London Classics Summer School.
The Courses
We admit graduates for taught and research courses in Classics.
Wadham has broad coverage of ancient Greece and Rome, and the different ways of studying them. In addition, because of the strength of the college in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and the presence of experts in medieval history and English, the college is a particularly appropriate home for those working on the geographical or historical boundaries of the Classical world. It is close to the Bodleian Library, the Ioannou Centre, the Ashmolean Museum, the Art, Archaeology and Ancient World Library, and the Faculty of Archaeology.
