Study of the Ancient World is interdisciplinary, and universities often have different ways of organising it. At UCL Ancient History is in the History Department, Ancient Art and Archaeology in the Institute of Archaeology. We also work closely with the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies, the Department of Philosophy, and others. 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.
