    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    3 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The main emphasis of the programme is on the study of Latin and Greek texts in the original language. The choice of options is very wide, but the language element follows a set pattern. You must take at least 1.0 credit of Latin-based modules and at least 1.0 credit of Greek-based modules in your first year, and can then concentrate on Latin-based modules in your second and third years. In addition, there are some compulsory modules in the first and second years involving texts in translation.
