Third-year level

Coordinator: A S McDevitt

Many third-year options are also offered at second-year level. In all such cases the third-year subjects have the same basic teaching hours and core syllabus as their second-year counterparts. In the assessment of written work of third-year level subjects, a higher level of sophistication will be required. In particular third-year students will be (i) expected to demonstrate a wider reading, not only of analytical works but also of relevant primary sources closely related to the text or period being studied; (ii) expected to show a higher level of sophistication in their approach to, and their analysis of, the texts and documents studied and (iii) expected to display a greater knowledge and understanding of the ancient world, so as to relate the works studied more closely to their cultural and historical contexts.

For other subjects offered inside and outside the Department of Classics and Archaeology which may be taken in a third-year classical culture and history course, see the overview at the head of this entry.

A minor sequence in classical history and culture as defined in the overview above is a prerequisite for third-year classical history and culture subjects with the exception of CHC 3830 and CHC3870. CHC3810 is an additional prerequisite for CHC3830. CHC3850 is an additional prerequisite for CHC3870.
