You can apply to take up one of the above placements within the framework of our International degrees: we offer BAs in Classics, Classical Studies or Ancient History with a Year Abroad that last four years. The placement would be a third, extra, year. There is considerable flexibility when designing the exact layout of this year and it would be an opportunity for you to further particular interests in the Classical World, get a head start in your broad dissertation field, try out something different and immerse into the culture. The work during your year abroad would count as the 20% of your third year, if you had stayed in London. You would then come back to complete the remaining 80% in a final, fourth, year. You can apply for these degrees during the course of your second year of study at Royal Holloway. Your original degree would be switched to the one with the year abroad component once you have successfully completed your year away.
You can apply to take up one of the above placements as your second 'integral' year (with credit transfer). This means we organise an appropriate study plan for you, so that you study and take all your second year exams abroad and you then return to re-join your cohort for your third and final year.
