ANU is Australia’s leading university in research and teaching of languages. Make the most of your opportunity to learn a new language, or extend your knowledge of a language you already know, while applying to this language the skills of analysis and description that you will master in your degree.
Specialists from the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences will equip you with critical language learning approaches and an in-depth understanding of how to apply that knowledge. You will be taught by Latin specialists, linguists and experts in oral, dramatic and textual arts.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate a consolidated and extended command of Latin grammar and vocabulary;
- demonstrate general fluency in reading comprehension covering texts in different registers from simplified texts to foundational texts;
- understand key aspects of culture, history, politics and society;
- demonstrate approaches and methodologies for critical thinking not only about the ancient sources but also the discourse of our own world; and
- conduct research on a topic related to the Latin-speaking world, and to write an essay on their research outcomes.
