Greek 1Ha (U03125)

? Credit Points : 20  ? SCQF Level : 10  ? Acronym : HCA-3-U03125

This Honours course introduces absolute beginners to the morphology and syntax of classical Greek.

Entry Requirements

? This course is not available to visting students.

? Special Arrangements for Entry : Students taking Greek 1Ha will attend class with Greek 1A, but will be required in addition to produce an assignment that conforms in length and quality to other honours course requirements. This assignment uses their developing linguistic knowledge to deepen their understanding of their main degree subject, whether that is Classical Literature, Ancient History or Classical Archaeology. The assignment will thus be one that combines language skills with the other skills acquired during the degree, the one reinforcing and developing the other.

? Costs : 1 course text, TBA
