As part of the UCAS preparation morning, Esme, who would like to study Classical Studies, visited Reading University. She met the Classics Department Head who answered all her questions about the content of the course, how it was taught and examined. She also found out about all the fun extra-curricular events!

After that she looked around the Ure Museum of Greek Archaeology, an inspiring space. It is full of Greek pots and artefacts, illustrating so many aspects of life in Ancient Greece. The special exhibition on different depictions of horses was particularly interesting and the symposia pots were especially enlightening on the different aspects of Greek dinner parties. Now Esme has plenty to inspire her as she embarks on her personal statement.
