Ancient History and Archaeology are both concerned with understanding social, political and cultural experience in the past. This course offers students the opportunity to range across these two broad disciplines. Students will study the Greek and Roman worlds by working with historical and literary documents alongside the material remains of ancient sites and artefacts. All material is studied in translation and no knowledge of Greek or Latin is required, but there are opportunities to take introductory modules in the languages.

In an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world, advanced language skills and intercultural competencies will equip students for a wide variety of careers and will give them a distinct competitive advantage. Language competence is one of the biggest skills gaps in the Irish labor market and language graduates are highly sought after in a variety of sectors.

Within the Modern Languages program students study two modern European languages. It is the most intensive exposure to languages and cultures that Trinity College Dublin has to offer. Students can choose between French, German, Irish, Italian, Russian and Spanish. Apart from French and Irish all languages can be studied from both advanced and beginners level.
