Bachelor of Arts Classical Languages (Latin and Greek)

Comments about Bachelor of Arts Classical Languages (Latin and Greek) - On Campus - Newcastle - New South Wales

• Objectives
  The Classical Languages major allows students the opportunity to study aspects of both or either the Latin or Greek Classical Languages. The courses undertaken as part of this major aim to provide students with both a grammatical and practical understanding of the ancient languages but also an understanding of key cultural and historical concepts and issues. An appreciation of modern English in relation to the historical languages is also developed. Classics graduates are valued not only for their specific expertise in historical language and cultural concepts but their ability to think critically and analytically, to form coherent and historically sensitive arguments and to express themselves both verbally and in written form. Employment opportunities exist both in discipline related fields but others utilising the above mentioned skills such as journalism, teaching, policy development and law. Further study can complement this major and can provide a diverse range of additional career opportunities.
