BA (Hons) Classical Studies and Modern Languages

Classical Studies may be studied with Modern Languages (Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish or Russian). This programme gives you a wonderful opportunity to combine the challenge of exploring the culture and thought of the ancient world with the study of Modern Languages. You will study 60 credits per year from the Classical Studies programme, including the core modules Greek and Roman Narrative or Drama, and two from the Modern Languages programme.For Classical Studies, all texts are usually taught in translation so you don’t have to study Latin or Greek language modules unless you choose to. Your third year will normally be spent studying abroad, developing your language skills. Chinese, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish can be studied as a beginner, in which case you spend more time studying language in the first year. Remaining credits can be gained from a variety of Classics module topics.
