Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
Who it's for
This course is for someone with a genuine curiosity about the ancient world, its languages, its stories, its politics and its people, and the patience to work through original texts and historical sources rather than relying on secondary summaries. Because it's part-time, it suits people who are balancing study with work, family or other responsibilities, and who want the structure and accountability of in-person seminars rather than studying alone. You should be comfortable with close reading and written argument, and happy to spend time on language learning as well as broader cultural and historical analysis. If you enjoy following an idea from a set text through to a piece of independent research, and you like the idea of studying alongside others in a classroom rather than purely online, this way of studying Classics should feel like a good fit. It also suits those who want to keep the door open to further study or a career that draws on strong research, analysis and communication skills, without needing to have that path fully mapped out yet.
Careers & job market
Nationally, across History courses, 85% of graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating, and 55% of those in work are in highly skilled roles or further study, figures that reflect the national Graduate Outcomes picture for the field rather than anything specific to this course or a guarantee of employment. National earnings data (LEO) for the field shows graduates starting on between £23,500 and £31,000 fifteen months after graduating, £20,400 to £28,800 after three years, and £25,500 to £36,000 after five years; these are broad national ranges, not fixed salaries, and individual outcomes vary considerably depending on role, sector and location. Nationally, 90% of students in this field continue past their first year, either still enrolled or having completed, which gives a sense of how many students stay the course once they begin. A Classics degree of this kind is generally understood to build transferable skills in research, close reading, argument and written communication that graduates carry into a range of fields, whether or not those fields are directly connected to the ancient world.

International students
What applying to University of Warwick from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £25,000 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Warwick’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Warwick and gov.uk before you apply.
