The BA takes three years to complete if you are studying full time.
You will choose two BA subjects as your two majors (your "double major"). You will take eight courses (120 points) in each major. This includes at least three courses (45 points) at Stage III in each major.
At least half your courses (12 courses or 180 points) must be above Stage I level. The courses for your majors are included in this total.
As well as your majors, you will take elective courses in other subjects. You must study at least three BA subjects (including your majors).
You can choose to take one or two optional modules instead of elective courses. A module is a group of three courses (45 points) that focuses on a specific skill or area of knowledge to benefit or inform future careers.
You will complete two General Education courses. You can also include up to two courses (30 points) from other degree programmes.
In your first year you will probably take eight courses: four in semester one and four in semester two. A typical pattern would be to take two courses in each of three BA subjects, choose one course in a fourth BA subject, and take a General Education course. This gives you an opportunity to explore your interests and discover your strengths.
Towards the end of your first year, you will choose your two majors. In later years you will concentrate on these subjects.
You can take first year courses on broad themes in classical literature and in ancient history. In later years there are more advanced courses on topics in Egyptian, Greek and Roman political, military and social history and culture, as well as ancient literature, philosophy and art.
You are not required to study ancient Greek or Latin language for the major in Classical Studies and Ancient History, but it is encouraged.
Ancient Greek language and Latin are separate BA majors, while Egyptian language is an option at Stage II and III within Classical Studies and Ancient History. You can also count some Greek or Latin courses towards a Classical Studies and Ancient History major.
You can take a major in Classical Studies and Ancient History as one of the two BA subjects in your double major, subject to approval. You will need to pass at least 120 points (eight courses) towards each of your majors, including at least 45 points (three courses) at Stage III.
