Course summary

About the course: The one year MSt is an intensive and high-pressure course designed primarily for those students who wish to prepare for doctoral work by means of a shorter course than the two-year MPhil in Ancient History. For this degree you will write a dissertation and complete two other options. Assessment: The language option (A) is assessed at the end of the year by a three-hour written examination and the second option (B) is assessed by a pair of pre-submitted essays. Finally, you will write a dissertation of no more than 10,000 words. Candidates may also be required to attend a viva voce examination at which issues arising from their pre?submitted essays or dissertation are discussed. Graduate destinations: Many MSt graduates go on to take doctorates, either in Oxford or elsewhere. Many subsequently take up university teaching or research posts after finishing their doctorates. Those who do not take doctorates go into a variety of occupations, including teaching, publishing, administration, business and other professions.
