All courses, both in Part One and Part Two, are modular. A module is the basic unit of study or course. Each module earns a number of credit points which relate to its value within a degree scheme. The modular scheme allows students flexibility in devising programmes of study. The content of the progammes is impressive and responsive to developments in the discipline.
External examiners are entirely satisfied.
The advantage of a modular curriculum is that it provides more choice and greater flexibility to students in their academic studies. Normally a student takes modules to the value of 60 in the Michaelmas term and 60 in the Lent term. The overall standard of achievement is better than expectations and there is evidence of value added. We believe that a spiralling curriculum design best communicates the relevance of a broad knowledge about the civilisation and culture of the Classical world to the skills needed in the world today. For example, material presented in first year modules is built upon in Honours modules where students are given opportunities to deepen their interest in a specific subject, or to compare geographically separate cultures within the same period.
