Key information

SCOTCAT credits : 60

ECTS credits : 30

Level : SCQF level 10

Semester: Both

Availability restrictions: Available only to final-year Honours students in the School of Classics who have been accepted into a relevant Study Abroad programme. Places will be allocated by the Honours Adviser/Study Abroad Co-ordinator in Classics, subject to the agreement of the host institution.

Planned timetable: To be arranged.

This module enables St Andrews students on Study Abroad schemes to carry out a substantial piece of work on a topic essentially of their own choice, under the joint supervision of one member of staff at the host institution and another in St Andrews. It is particularly intended for use in institutions where the language of instruction is not English and a language barrier would otherwise prevent the student from studying there successfully. The dissertation will be written in English and may relate to any aspect of Greek life or literature, provided that the study of Greek texts is involved. The topic must be approved by the Dissertations Co-ordinator and Honours Adviser/Study Abroad Co-ordinator in Classics. The dissertation will be completed over one semester and will be marked by staff in St Andrews.
