Why study Western Civilisation?
A program on “the best that has been thought and known” in Western Civilisation enriches your entire life, not only your career.
At the same time, your close engagement with so many of the great ideas and works of art of our past, will make you a better thinker, writer and speaker – invaluable assets in whatever career or careers you choose. The collaborative exposure to highly complex texts representing the classical world, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Modernity and Postmodernity, will enable you to develop a genuinely critical mindset, applicable in all walks of life, while immersing you in a rich and broad intellectual and artistic heritage.
