Four years full-time study leading to the degree of BA (Honours) in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology with Study in Europe or of BA (Pass) in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology with Study in Europe (VV18).

At the end of Year One, an overall 2.1 profile has to be obtained for students to be allowed to continue with this degree, and a mark of 56+ in the Italian language module must be achieved. If at the end of the 1st year, students fail to achieve the necessary results, they will change degree course back to VV16 Ancient History & Classical Archaeology, without study in Europe.

Students must pass their Year in Europe to be able to continue on the BA in Ancient History and Classical Archaeology with Study in Europe on their return, failing which they will revert to registration for the VV16 Ancient History & Classical Archaeology degree.

External Modules at Honours Level

Fourth-year students on this degree pathway may take up to 30-CATs of modules from outside the department (eg from IATL or another academic dept) in place of an optional module. You should discuss this first of all with your Personal Tutor, & then seek advice from the relevant module tutor in order to check that you have the prerequisite knowledge before then seeking formal permission from the Director of UG Studies or Head of Dept in order to register for the external module(s). You should be aware that modules from the Business School, for example, may involve a substantial maths component.

Students wishing to take a level one option at Honours level should bear in mind that only one such module is permitted in the eight modules taken in the second and third years.

Students are permitted to take language modules taught at the University's Language Centre (located on the ground floor of Humanities). However, students are not permitted to take Language Centre modules whose levels are lower than university-level study. These can instead be studied in your spare time in every year of study. For your degree, students can take a language at the Language Centre at Level 5 Advanced 1 in their second year; and Level 6 Advanced 2 in their third year. Students who want to study a Language Centre module as part of their degree need to speak to their personal tutor, in order to obtain approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Students may, however, also investigate academic modules in German or Spanish within the School for Modern Languages and Cultures.
