The Classical Studies Honours Specialisation is a fourth year of undergraduate study which allows you to delve deeper into the fascinating world of Greek and Roman Antiquity by taking advanced coursework modules and writing a 20,000 word thesis on a topic of personal interest under the supervision of a member of academic staff. The Honours year can act either as capstone to an undergraduate degree or as a pathway to Higher Degree Research. It is a prestigious qualification which sets you apart from BA degree graduates by demonstrating your aptitude to undertake independent research and writing, skills which are highly valued by employers in a wide range of fields.
