Classics and English with Beginner's Latin and Greek with Foundation Year BA (Hons)

Are you a student from the UK interested in studying Classics and English but your personal or educational circumstances have meant you are unlikely to achieve the grades typically required for Oxford courses? If so, Classics and English with Foundation Year might be the course for you.<br/><br/>The Foundation Year is completely free for UK students and is designed to be a one-year intensive academic course which will bridge any gap between school and our academically challenging undergraduate courses. The programme is carefully designed to build and develop your study skills, subject knowledge and capacity for independent study. Students that pass the course will be awarded a nationally recognised Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE) qualification. If you pass the course at the required level, you will be automatically admitted into Oxford as an undergraduate student if you wish to be, without the need to re-apply. For more information on this course please visit www.ox.ac.uk/fyhumanities.<br/><br/>The Classics and English undergraduate degree at Oxford gives students the opportunity to study the literature and culture of the ancient and modern world, both separately and in comparison; to trace ideas, forms, and genres across cultures and time; and to think about continuities and change in how people think, write, and imagine their world. All students study either Latin or Greek or both, so that they can encounter ancient literature in the original language(s).<br/><br/>This course pathway is for those who have not had the opportunity to study either language at school or college and includes a preliminary year at undergraduate level, in which students learn Latin or Greek alongside some study of classical literature. This makes it a five-year course including the foundation year. For more information on the undergraduate course please visit ox.ac.uk/ugce.<br/><br/>This course is for UK state school students who meet the eligibility criteria.
