Classics and Modern Languages combines the study of Latin and/or Ancient Greek with a modern language. The course involves extensive study of major literary texts, alongside training in linguistic skills. Some papers on offer provide an opportunity to compare texts from both sides of the course, and to study classical influence on modern European literature. Undergraduates also develop oral proficiency in the modern language by regular contact with native speakers. Classics and Modern Languages students spend a compulsory year abroad. They may work as paid language assistants in a foreign school or do internships abroad, both of which provide valuable opportunities to develop career experience while improving language competence. The year may also be spent studying at a foreign university.
