Classics in Final YEAR Arts 2012–13

See the Classics Handbook for Second and Final Year Arts and Postgraduate Students 2012–13

Choosing your modules

As far as the registration system is concerned, all Classics modules are optional—but we strongly recommend certain combinations. Each semester has a designated core module that all Classics students should take. In addition, you can choose two modules each semester according to your interests. Usually, you will take either two Latin modules per semester or two modules in visual and intellectual culture.

(It is possible to take one Latin module per semester, but this is not advisable for all but the most dedicated students. In this case students would take the modules CC230 and CC232 (Beginning Latin) and be encouraged to attend as many classes as possible from CCS202 and CCS203 (Latin and Historical Linguistics) on an unofficial basis. Similarly, if you are continuing Latin from Second Year and wish now to take just one module per semester, you should first take CCS304 Explorations in the Latin Language, and then whichever second-semester module interests you most. Here again we would encourage you to attend other classes unofficially as you wish.)

Those interested in studying Ancient Greek normally begin it as part of the final-year programme. There is one Greek module per semester, which meets three times weekly.

The Celtic Civilisation module SG322, The Cultural Impact of Christianity on the Celtic World, is available for Classics students and can be taken as one of the two non-core modules.

Finally, we offer a limited number of final-year students the option of CS303.II, Special Project in Classics, which is designed for students who wish to conduct an independent research project. If you are interested in pursing such a project, please speak to a member of staff with whom you would like to work. Acceptance to the module is based on a formal application submitted by the end of September. This application must be approved by the supervisor and include an outline of the proposed project, as well as preliminary annotated bibliography. The project will be submitted at the end of Semester Two.
