About us

At UCL Greek and Latin, we work with different departments to cover a number of subjects. These subjects range from Greek, Latin and ancient Middle Eastern culture to historical linguistics. We are located in the heart of London and have an unrivalled range of resources for the study of the ancient world.

The study of the ancient world is interdisciplinary, and universities have different ways of organising it. 

At UCL, ancient history is in the history department, while ancient art and archaeology is in the Institute of Archaeology. We work closely with our colleagues in history and archaeology, and other departments, including Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Philosophy, and English.

We collaborate to provide an unparalleled range of teaching and supervision in all aspects of the ancient world and its reception in the modern world.
