Course summary

Greek involves the study of classical Greek language and literature and ancient Greek civilisation. If you progress to Honours you will have the opportunity to spend at least three weeks (usually during the summer vacation after year 3) visiting archaeological sites and museums in Greece. Financial support for this visit is available to all Single Honours students. You may also spend year 3 studying at universities in North America, Australia, New Zealand or Europe. You will read (depending on options chosen) Homer and other Greek poets, Athenian tragedies and comedies, orators and historians, and the philosopher Plato. You will also learn about Greek political and social history, philosophy, religion and art. If you have a good A-level pass in the subject, you may be able to start Greek at level 2. The focus is on developing translation skills, of both prepared and unprepared texts. There is also consolidation of grammatical foundations. We introduce continuous literary texts, typically from oratory, drama, historiography and epic. You will also develop your critical skills through commentary and essay work. You will be provided with a strong foundation of grammar and vocabulary leading to the reading of simple passages of genuine ancient Greek. You will learn to read elementary texts in Greek and to translate Greek into English.In recent years our graduates have found employment as teachers, civil servants, administrators, librarians and archivists, and in museums and galleries.
