The core of the Classics course is language, although how much language is studied and at what level depends upon the individual student. The course is perfect for those entering with A-levels in Greek and/or Latin, but it is also available to those who have never studied an ancient language before. We offer modules in both Latin and Greek, in both prose and verse, at every level. Classics will give you an average of 9 hours of timetabled tuition every week over the course of the programme – a figure at the upper end of the standard defined by CUCD, the national subject body for Classics. It is slightly higher than the figure for our other Single Honours programmes, reflecting the enhanced level of support required for the study of the ancient languages, which lies at the heart of this programme. The aim of the programme is to make help you become an independent learner and researcher in the field of Classics Studies.
