Classics (Full-time)

Overview

Classics (Full-time) from The University of Wales Trinity Saint David concentrate on the Greek and Latin languages at advanced level, as well as the literature of the ancient world.

Quick Facts:

• Classics have been taught at our Lampeter campus since the opening of St David's College in 1822, and have been offered via distance study since 2001. The Roderic Bowen Library and Archives on the Lampeter campus provides access to an excellent range of electronic academic resources, including more than 1,000 Classics e-books, 70 Classics e-journals, and a number of specialised Classics databases.
• In Part One, each module is worth 30 credits and, in addition to the compulsory module 'HPAH7011 Theory and Methodology for the Study of the Ancient World', students have a choice from the list of optional modules noted below. Students must complete 120 credits in Part One.
• In Part Two, students are given the opportunity to research in detail a topic that has particularly appealed to them and write an extended dissertation (for 60 credits). They will be allocated a supervisor to help guide them through their dissertations.
• The MA in Classics will have a special appeal to those students who wish to continue the study of Latin and Greek at advanced levels. Providing our students with a range of learning opportunities and excellent teaching is the primary aim of our postgraduate programmes in Classics. We employ a range of innovative methods and approaches that enhance our students’ learning, thus preparing them for the world of work or for further academic research at the doctoral level.
