Master of Studies in Greek and Latin Languages and LiteraturePlease note: 1) A copy of the University Examination Decrees and Regulations 2011-12 will be given you on your arrival. This is the official version of all matters concerning courses and examinations.While we hope that there are no errors in the list below, it is not the official document. Make sure that you consult the Decrees yourself. 2) The three University terms at Oxford are known as Michaelmas Term (from October to December), Hilary Term (from January to March) and Trinity Term (from April to June). The options for the M.St. are divided into four groups:
A. Classical Greek Language or Classical Latin Language
Syllabus Options should be chosen in consultation with your Supervisor. They have to be submitted for official approval at the beginning of your first term. Most students take the dissertation as one of their options, and if you are using the M.St. as a training for a D.Phil. you are advised to submit a dissertation on a subject related to whatever you have in mind for your eventual thesis. You should also bear in mind that if you will be applying for AHRB funding, it is important to choose your options in such a way that they can be presented as relevant training for the Doctorate. A: Classical Greek Language and Classical Latin LanguageThese courses are provided for those who have not studied both languages to a high level in the course of their first degree. You may take either Greek or Latin but not both. Teaching and examination for both languages are offered at both an elementary and intermediate level, and you should choose whichever is appropriate to you.
B: Classical Greek Language and Classical Latin Language
C: Specific TextsAll of the options in this section are examined by means of two submitted essays and a paper of translation (1˝ hours). The texts below are the normal options and there are usually lectures on these, but it is possible to devise other sets of texts provided that they are of more or less equal weight and quantity. In the specifications below, texts the α section are set for translation only, while texts in the β section are not so tested. In preparation for the submitted essays, you write under the guidance of a tutor (either your Supervisor or someone arranged by your Supervisor) a number of essays, usually about five. You then work two or more of these up for submission. If you are taking more than one option which is examined by presubmitted essays, you must submit at least two of those essays in the middle of February. The purpose of this is so that the examiners can assess at least one third of your work before you embark on your final term; and they may be able to give some useful feedback to you through your Supervisor.
