Humanities Essentials
This module provides the foundation to BA Combined Honours. Via specific case studies and cultural artefacts, you will be introduced to the different disciplines of the humanities and explore both the differences and the commonalities between them. You will examine how the humanities shape the world around us, whilst being supported to explore your own specific interests and learning to work in an interdisciplinary and comparative area of study. In so doing, you will gain an appreciation of the value of the humanities, as well as the study skills needed to succeed in humanities disciplines.

Advanced Research Project Preparation
This module will develop the generic research skills acquired in CL-M08 (Research Methodologies in Classics and Ancient History) and focus them specifically towards preparation of a research proposal for the independent research project (CL-M09 Dissertation in Ancient History and/or Classical Literature). To this end students will be required to reflect critically on the feedback they have received for work in TB1; they will also be challenged to investigate diverse methodological approaches to their proposed area of research, for example by examining how understanding aspects of material culture enhances research approaches to literary texts (and vice versa). By the end of the module, students will have prepared a detailed research proposal for their dissertation.

CLC101
Of Gods and Heroes - Greek Mythology
Greek mythology for us represents the beginnings of Western Civilisation. Greek myths are gripping tales in their own right, and through reception in literature and art they tell their own story as well as the story of those who received them, from Greek and Roman times to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This module introduces the greatest of all Greek heroes, Herakles, as seen through the eyes of archaic and classical Greeks, from the Homeric epics to the Attic tragedians of the fifth century BC. At the centre of the module will be four tragedies by Sophocles and Euripides, which will be studied both as self-contained plays produced for public performance and as part of an ongoing discourse negotiating the character of Herakles in an age of social, political and cultural change.

This is a chance for students to pursue an area in which they are especially interested, and to deal with it in depth. Students may choose to do museum-based research.
There are two preparatory pieces of assessment: an abstract, outline and bibliography, and an analysis of crucial source material and/or secondary literature. Work on the dissertation itself takes up most of the two semesters. Students are expected to do research independently, but there is a series of lectures in the first semester to provide advice on research and scholarly writing, Every student will be assigned a supervisor who will be organising group sessions with his/her supervisees and who will also be available for one-to-one supervision sessions.
