In MA Classics and English Language, you will combine the study of:

ancient Greek language and literature
linguistics and linguistic theory with a particular focus on the English language
The study of Greek will give you access to one of the world’s great literatures. You will read foundational texts of the western tradition in their original language, including:

epic
tragedy
philosophy
history
This will complement your studies in linguistics. This means you will have the opportunity to investigate linguistic structures in both a dead and living language.

While the programme shares a common structure with MA Classics and English Language, from Year 2 there is a focus on linguistics courses.

Your final dissertation is taken in either classics or linguistics.
