Latin

Course summary

This course involves the study of Latin language and literature, comprising cultural, philosophical, and historical topics which arise from the prescribed texts; further reading in both Latin and English is strongly encouraged. Translation, discussion, essays, presentations and independent research are all important and enriching parts of the course. You will prepare your set texts in depth, and by regular practice in translation at sight (unseens) you will extend your knowledge of Latin grammar and vocabulary. There is also the opportunity to learn the technique of translating from English into Latin. We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Events may include museum and site visits in Britain, visits to theatrical productions, lectures, conferences, summer schools, Classics Society events, the production of the Classics Magazine (The Muse), and participation in the Ancient World Breakfast Club.
