Modern Greek section

Modern Greek is taught at Cambridge in the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages as part of the BA degree. Students must study two languages in their first and second years, though they may choose to specialise in one language in their final year. Candidates must have taken A2 (or the International Baccalaureate) in ONE of their two chosen languages, but the other language (except for French) may be studied ab initio. The Modern Greek course caters for both beginners and students who have taken A level (or equivalent). The two groups follow different pathways in the first two years. In addition to language, students are taught Modern Greek literature and history. The course has a flexible structure: students are able to build up a portfolio of different papers and specialisms which, taken together, form the degree as a whole. Students normally spend their third year abroad. If they opt to spend a year in Greece, they can study at a leading Greek university, such as Thessaloniki or Crete. During the year abroad they undertake a dissertation or translation project. In the final year, in addition to language papers, there is a wide choice of advanced papers in the literature and history of various periods.
