European Studies offers two academic options.
Option One: Ancient Greece and Rome: The Foundations of Western Civilization is a broad study of the culture and thinking of Ancient Greece and Rome. It shows the fundamental contribution made by the arts and science of the Ancient World to modern Western civilization.
Option Two: Western Europe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is an interdisciplinary study of the literature, art and history of Europe in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Classroom study and European travel combine to provide a stimulating and integrated approach to the rich cultural diversity of Western Europe.
The two options run simultaneously in four phases:
1. The University of the South
2. York and Durham: ten days
3. Oxford University, Lincoln College: six weeks
4. Study Travel throughout Europe and in London: five weeks, where each option has a separate travel itinerary specifically tailored to its subject matter.
Both options aim to provide a detailed, inter-disciplinary study of an important epoch in the history of Western European civilization. They provide an unequaled opportunity to visit many of Europe's greatest monuments, cities, landscapes and works of art, such as private visits to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel in Rome. Also included are a number of privileged entrances on the Continent; in Britain, students enjoy visits to a Shakespeare production at the Globe Theatre in London and to a major London ballet or opera. These special opportunities are arranged by European Studies through long-established contacts in Europe. Less
