Introduction
The Certificate of Higher Education in Classical Studies is a one year programme designed to provide a solid foundation in the study of the ancient world. It commences with introductory modules in Greek and Roman history and culture, Classical art, archaeology, literature, and the Latin language. These provide orientation in the handling of textual, visual, and material evidence from Antiquity, and particularly in the sensitive reading of written sources. Alongside modules in critical thinking, writing, and historiography, these foundation modules aim to develop the skills necessary for students to chart their own path through the balance of the full degree programme.
Modules
All Level 1 modules of the BA (Hons) Classical Studies programme must be successfully completed for the award of the Certificate of Higher Education. The programme has been designed to give students the opportunity, upon completion, to progress directly into Level 2 of the full degree programme.
