This four-year programme follows the same curriculum as the Ancient World BA but offers the additional opportunity to spend the third year abroad at an approved university in Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Spain or Switzerland.
Your learning
You will be taught through lectures, seminars and small-group work. Some sessions involve direct study of artefacts, including access to the collections of the British Museum.
Assessment
Most modules combine both continuous assessment and end-of-year written examinations, although a few modules are assessed solely by one or other of these methods.
Careers
Knowledge of languages such as Latin and Greek may allow you to develop mental agility and versatility, equipping you with the ability (amongst other things) to learn modern languages with comparative ease, opening a wider range of possibilities in the future.
The Ancient World with a Year Abroad BA is a rigorous and broad-ranging degree which qualifies you for a remarkably wide variety of jobs. The Classical Society hosts regular talks from former students which may help guide you in your future career choices.
Career destinations in recent years have included: graduate study, teaching, law, computing, accountancy, marketing, banking, music (classical and popular), acting, the media, business, the voluntary sector, local government and politics.
