In Year One you will either continue with, or begin, Greek and Latin language, depending on previous experience. Other modules are on Greek and Roman literature in translation (the cultural cornerstones of the Odyssey and the Aeneid), ancient history, and visual culture.

In Year Two, you will continue to develop both your skills in Latin and Greek, and your awareness of how Greek and Roman authors were using their languages. Your optional modules can be in Greek and Roman culture, Classical literature in translation and Ancient History.

In Year Three, your dissertation will give you the opportunity to undertake detailed and independent research under the guidance of an expert adviser. The subject matter itself will be your own choice. You will also continue with Greek and Latin and will read key authors in the original language.
