Classics and English with Beginner's Latin and Greek with Foundation Year Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Are you a student from the UK interested in studying Classics and English, but your personal or educational circumstances mean you are unlikely to achieve the grades typically required for Oxford courses? If so, then Classics and English with Foundation Year might be the course for you.\
\
Classics and English with Foundation Year pathways are part of the Foundation Year in Humanities and introduces you to the study of literature, language and culture across different historical periods. You will begin with a broad exploration of the Humanities before moving towards more focused study that prepares you for your chosen degree pathway.

* Through your studies, you will develop skills in analysing a range of texts and forms of evidence, exploring how meaning is shaped through language and how texts reflect the societies in which they were produced.

* You will engage with both ancient and modern material, learning how ideas and literary forms can be interpreted in different contexts. 

* In your final term, you will complete an extended essay on a topic of your choice, allowing you to develop your interests and build your skills in independent research and writing. 

* As part of the Classics and English with Beginner's Latin or Greek with Foundation Year you will be given classes in one Classical language. You do not need prior knowledge of a Classical language.

* Alongside your subject studies, you will take the Preparation for Undergraduate Studies course, which supports your development in academic writing, communication and independent study.
