Entry Requirements

? This course is not available to visting students.

? Pre-requisites : Greek 1HA.

? Special Arrangements for Entry : Students of Greek 1HB will attend class with students of Greek 1B, but will be required in addition to produce an assignment which conforms to the requirements of other honours classes. 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.
