Further requirements

Choose 120 credits in the academic year

"Students taking single Honours Classics usually take Latin and Greek every year from their first year onwards. Students pursuing this path should take 40 credits of Greek and 40 credits of Latin in their first year, choosing beginners’ or advanced modules as appropriate.

Students who are beginners in both languages have the option of delaying starting one language until their second year. Students wishing to take this option should take either GK1002 and GK1002 or LT1001 and LT1002 in their first year. These students will take either GK3021 and GK3022 or LT3017 and LT3018 in their third year, and will not be able to take 4000-level modules in the delayed language until senior Honours year.

Please consult your adviser or the School of Classics if you have any questions."
