Course summary

Many of the basic concepts underlying Western society were expressed for the first time in ancient Greek or Latin. Studying French and Classics helps us understand the contemporary world, while shedding light on the past.**French** You will have the opportunity to acquire near-native fluency in this widely-spoken modern language, while gaining the broad cultural education valued by graduate employers. You will explore aspects of French culture, including Francophone literature and cinema, political history, social movements and philosophical ideas. Our courses cover material from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century and include specialist options taught by leading experts in their field. **Classics** You can opt to take a Latin, Greek or a non-language pathway through Classics.You will explore the highly influential scholarship and literature of the classical world that gave rise to Western society.**Why Edinburgh** We are unique in Scotland in offering students a full academic year abroad within the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working. Our language programmes are also extremely flexible. In Years 1 and 2, you will choose option courses from a broad list of disciplines in addition to your core subjects, then specialise in your honours years.
