Latin and English

This three-year degree programme offers you the opportunity to study Latin and English in parallel, and to gain knowledge of two diverse bodies of language, literature and culture, and the relations between them. The programme allows you to develop your skills in criticism and expression, cultural self-awareness and comparison.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 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 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Each year you will take 4.0 credits, divided evenly between Latin and English.

You must take 1.0 credit in Latin at a level appropriate to your previous experience every year. In addition there are compulsory courses including: Interpreting Latin Literature, Narrative Texts, Cultural and Intellectual Sources in year one, Classics and Literary Theory in year two, and an interdisciplinary extended essay in year three.

Remaining optional modules may be selected from the range offered by UCL Greek & Latin and UCL English. Students on this degree programme may not take elective modules in other departments.
