Can I do a masters in classics despite having an unrelated bachelors

Hey guys,

I’m currently doing a degree apprenticeship (comp science/data)

I started this because it pays well and I enjoy the job itself but I realise this isn’t my passion. I love classics and it’s what I actually want to pursue (not as a career necessarily but I’d like to study it)

I want to do a masters (open to to studying in the US as well) and then maybe a phD after

This would be in 3 years time and I’ve picked up Greek now which gives me a good amount of time. I’ll also pick up Latin at some point and intend to do certified courses in both.

I’m also joining a classical society and attempting as many classical texts as I can.

If I can up skill myself in classics in other ways can I get into a good university for a masters despite my bachelors being completely different?
