**The Department**

The Department of Classics and Ancient History is part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and we were ranked 8th in the 2023 QS World Rankings for Classics. The Department of Classics and Ancient History is one of the very best in the UK, and indeed worldwide, with an outstanding reputation for excellence in teaching and research. We were ranked joint fourth in the last national research evaluation (REF2021) in terms of the quality of our work. We attract large numbers of exceptionally talented undergraduate, MA, and doctoral students, and we focus on high quality research-led teaching. The Department delivers very high levels of overall student satisfaction. In student-facing guides and league tables we are regularly ranked among the top Classics Departments in the UK.

We have a long tradition of excellence in Greek and Latin literature, ancient history and ancient philosophy and the near east. Four interdisciplinary research centres are based in the Department: the Centre for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean and the Near East (CAMNE), the Durham Centre for Classical Reception (DCCR), CLAWS (Centre for Language and Writing Systems), and the Durham Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy (DCAMP). In addition to these established areas of strength, we are interested in developing collaborations with other cross-departmental research initiatives: for example medical humanities, and digital humanities.
