Module summary

This is a challenging and intensive module for those serious about learning Latin in a short space of time.

Attendance at all classes and completion of all homework is compulsory and will be closely monitored. The module is worth 20 credits and runs in semester 1 only, with 4 classes per week. Please note that you must take this module if you wish to be admitted to CLAS1902; you may, however, take this module without enrolling for CLAS1902.
