This Joint Honours course will give you the opportunity to study French or German alongside classical Greek.<br/><br/>Whether you start at beginners’, advanced or native-speaker level, you will study the core language components of French or German, gaining skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening. All our teaching is led by native speakers.<br/><br/>The remainder of your modern languages study will give you an opportunity to explore the literature, art, culture and history of the language area you are studying, from seventeenth-century French theatre to representations of childhood and youth in German culture.

Over three years you’ll become a specialist in both the language and literature of the ancient Greeks, with the option to study classical archaeology, ancient philosophy as well as ancient history and classical literature in translation.<br/><br/>Greek is part of our Classics Department, where the combination of quality of research that informs our teaching, and the friendly, individual approach that shapes the way we guide our students, creates an unbeaten academic experience.<br/><br/><br/>- A centre for excellence in both teaching and research, 98% of our research is recognised as world-leading, internationally excellent or internationally recognised (REF 2014).<br/><br/><br/>- A thriving Classics Society that contributes to the friendly and sociable atmosphere of our department.<br/><br/><br/>In the event of a no-deal Brexit, we will commit to providing 2019 and 2020 entry students with a subsidy equivalent to current Erasmus+ funding (where this would have previously been funded by the Erasmus+ scheme).
