Monash University Handbook 2010 Undergraduate - Area of Study

Monash offers students a vibrant and engaging introduction to the life, culture and language of the ancient Greeks and Romans. No prior knowledge of classical studies is expected when undergraduates enter the program.

First-year level sequences are offered in Latin, Ancient Greek and classical cultural studies incorporating classical mythology and Greek and Roman life and culture (all texts are studied in translation).

Completion of a major or minor provides students with the opportunity to further their language studies in Latin and Ancient Greek, or develop their studies in classical culture through units on ancient Greek theatre and ancient Greek epic, Eros and the body, and performing Rome. Studies at honours level are also available which complement students' competence in the classical languages with detailed studies in ancient religion and myth, drama, erotic poetry and/or ancient political propaganda.

Course 3928 Diploma in Classical Languages (Greek, Latin) is also offered to students who are interested in teaching Latin (upon completion of a Graduate Diploma of Education) or wish to study the classical languages outside the structure of a degree.
