About the course

The study of Latin is a rewarding one. A Latin major introduces the principles of the language (grammar, vocabulary, syntax) and develops reading skills so that you engage ly with the Latin texts. The courses we offer give you a unique opportunity to read in the original language the literature, history, and philosophy of the Roman world. From your engagement with the past through its language and literature you will gain a richer understanding not only of that world but also of contemporary society. Proficiency in Latin is highly recommended also for those wishing to specialize in Ancient Greek or Roman history and civilization.

　　Learning Outcomes

　　Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

　　consolidate and extend your command of Latin grammar and vocabulary, to enable you to increase your ability to read Latin with pleasure and understanding: some texts at sight, any texts with the aid of dictionaries, grammars, translations, and textual notes,

　　develop skills in reading Latin from the study of simplified texts to focussed examination of foundational texts of the Greco-Roman world,

　　study these texts against their historical and cultural background, and

　　promote approaches and methodologies for critical thinking not only about the ancient sources but also the discourse of our own world. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
