In addition, we have removed the 'Important information' box from the 'Course overview' section, on the 'Course overview' tab:

Important information

We are planning to make changes to our BA Classics degree for 2023 entry. Changes to core modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes. As module changes are confirmed, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer. Sign up to receive updates.

We have also made changes to this course's 'Core modules' (including removing the 'Important information' box), on the 'Modules' tab:

Previous content:

Core modules

In your first year, you will take core modules in Latin literary texts, a modern European language (currently Italian or German), and a range of optional modules.

In your second year you will continue with your modern language alongside a Latin text module (optional core) and further optional Classics modules.

You will spend your third year studying classical subjects at one of our partner universities in Europe.

You will return for your final year at Warwick.

In your second year, you will continue with your modern language alongside a module focussing on Latin language and literature (optional core) and further optional Classics modules.

You will spend your third year studying classical subjects at one of our partner universities in Europe.

You will return for your final year at Warwick.

Changes to the content below this section have also been made, namely to 'Year One', below which a blurb was inserted and the new Latin Language 1 and 2 modules introduced:

New content:

Year One

In your first year, you take a core module in Latin language, either Latin Language 1 and 2 (intensive beginners’ course) OR Latin Literary Texts (post A level) as well as a modern European language, alongside a choice of optional modules studying texts, material culture, society or ancient thought. Second and final year students may take one 30-CAT module or two 15-CAT modules from outside the department (e.g., from the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning or another academic department) in place of an optional module.

Students without a qualification in Latin will take Latin Language I and II:

Latin Language 1 and 2

These accelerated modules will teach you the fundamental elements of Latin in a clear and accessible way. By the end of the year, you will be able to read and translate passages of original Latin with accuracy and confidence, will have a firm knowledge of Latin vocabulary and syntax, and will be able to begin to appreciate pieces of Latin prose in their original unadapted form.
