Classical Studies and English BA Honours (QQ83)

Our degrees are divided into Stages. Each Stage lasts for an academic year and you need to complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each Stage.

Please be aware that programme modules do change and therefore may differ for your year of entry.

Our Classics degrees are designed to equip you with a broad range of skills.

The specific content of your course provides you with a well-developed understanding of different cultures, societies, and perhaps even specific languages such as Latin and Greek.

Throughout your course, you also develop and demonstrate the ability to:

• research, collate, and analyse materials, including written documentation and statistics
• critically evaluate and interpret resources to formulate impartial and coherent arguments
• present information in writing and verbally
• work autonomously, manage your own workload and work to deadlines
• comprehend intellectually rigorous and challenging topics

Together, these make for a very well-rounded individual who possesses a mix of practical, intellectual and transferable skills desirable to employers.

You therefore have an excellent choice of further study and career opportunities open to you on completion of your studies.

• research, information work and IT
• law and legal services
