Have you ever wondered how ancient civilisations understood the world around them? Or how modern science can unlock the secrets of the past? The Faculty of Classics and the Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge are teaming up to offer year 12 students the chance to find out, in our special event "Science of the Past."
You will have the opportunity to experience what it’s like to study Classics or Archaeology as a Cambridge student. The day will include lectures from our academics, exploring the fascinating intersection of science and history. You will discover how the ancient Greeks and Romans approached scientific inquiry and how today's archaeologists use cutting-edge technology to study ancient societies. You will visit one of Cambridge’s most interesting museum collections and get hands-on experience in our archaeological labs, participating in practical workshops that bring the past to life, as well as enjoying a guided tour and lunch at one of Cambridge's historic colleges.
This event is a fantastic opportunity for anyone with a passion for history or science (or both!) to explore these fascinating subjects in a world-renowned academic setting.
