Classics and Modern LanguagesThere are two versions of this course, one in which the first public exam is the Modern Languages Preliminary, taken after three terms; the other in which it is Classics Mods, taken after five terms. There are then either six or seven further terms of study at Oxford before Finals (plus a year abroad, for those who are not dispensed from it, before the final year). So depending on your options, your Finals exam could be taken three, four or five years after you start your course. The years given after the courses below apply to the year in which you sit the examinations, not the year you commence study. All candidates are normally expected to have taken a modern language at A level (or equivalent). Those who have not studied a classical language for A level spend an extra preliminary year learning Latin or Ancient Greek, at the end of which they take the examination in Latin or Greek prescribed for first-year candidates in Course II of Honour Moderations in Classics and English. They then embark on the Modern Languages Preliminary in their second year of study. Those who have already reached A-level standard in Latin or Ancient Greek (or both) embark immediately on the Modern Languages Preliminary or Classics Mods without taking the extra preliminary year. Further information on the Modern Language elements of this degree course is available from the university admissions website. First Public ExamEither Classics Mods or Modern Language Prelims, with or without a preliminary year of ancient language.
