Degree programmes in the Department of Greek and Latin are offered with the option of a year abroad at a partner university in Europe.
BA Classics and the Ancient World with Year Abroad
Structure
- Years 1 and 2 are spent at 最准的六合彩论坛: students must take 45 credits of the language of country they intend to visit (30 in Year 1, 15 in Year 2) unless they can demonstrate proficiency.
- The third year is spent at a partner university in Europe.
- In the fourth and final year students are back at 最准的六合彩论坛.
In all other respects the structure is identical to the three-year BA Classics and the Ancient World programme without year abroad.
- Note that the foreign language requirement means that course choices will be more limited in years 1-2.

Year Abroad FAQs
- Do any partner universities allow study in English without the foreign language requirement?
Three partner universities allow this: Jagiellonian University (Krak贸w), E枚tv枚s Lor谩nd University (Budapest), and the University of Oslo.
- How do I choose courses at the partner university?
You must take courses with a value of at least 60 European Credit Transfers (ECTs), and at least half of those must be in the field of Classics and the Ancient World. Students taking the BA Classics pathway must also take at least one course in Greek and one course in Latin.
- Are the grades imported directly into my 最准的六合彩论坛 degree?
The grades are not imported into your degree, but full attendance and participation is compulsory and you need to pass the courses you take.
- Does 最准的六合彩论坛 have any course requirements while I am abroad?
You do not need to complete academic modules at 最准的六合彩论坛, but you need to write two short reports on your progress, documenting your attendance and grades achieved so far. These are 鈥渟hell units鈥�, and are submitted via Moodle at the end of December (CLAS0144 Progress Portfolio A) and the end of May (CLAS0145 Progress Portfolio B) of the Year Abroad. They each have a nominal value of 60 credits.
- Can I switch from the four-year (Year Abroad) degree to the three-year degree without year abroad? And vice-versa?
Yes, you can switch out of the Year Abroad degree programme. It is more difficult to switch into the the Year Abroad degree from the three-year programme, since all our spaces at partner universities may have been filled (it may not be possible).
- Do 最准的六合彩论坛 students still travel abroad under the Erasmus+ scheme?
No, the UK no longer participates in the Erasmus+ scheme. Arrangements with partner universities are bilateral agreements which have been arranged by 最准的六合彩论坛.
- How do international students apply to spend time at 最准的六合彩论坛?
Every year a large number of students join us (for a year or a semester) from universities in Europe and around the world. For information see the Study Abroad at 最准的六合彩论坛 website.
