About BA Classics In your first two years, you will concentrate on Greek and Latin literature through the medium of Greek, Latin and English texts. Languages are taught at various levels and you will be assigned to the language level that reflects your experience of Latin or Greek. The focus of these classes is on building and developing language and translation skills, while more advanced language classes focus on literary criticism and engagement with the text. In years one and two you will choose a number of optional units from literature, philosophy, art and political, social or cultural history. Some of these units may be taken in collaboration with other departments. In year three, you will take seminars based on the wide range of research interests offered by our staff. You will also choose a subject of special interest to you and, in co-operation with a supervisor, research and write a dissertation of 12,000 words.
