PRE-ADVISING: WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
If you are studying for a degree within the School (i.e. Ancient History, Ancient
History and Archaeology, Classical Studies, Classics, Greek, Latin, or Joint Honours
degrees including one of these), you should do the following:
1) Read this booklet in the course of Spring Break and Week 8.
There will be a briefing on programmes, modules and pre-advising at the
Honours Fayre. This takes place on Monday 28th March in the Arts
Lecture Theatre at 11.00 am. Module coordinators are happy to answer
queries by e-mail; contact details are in each module description.
2) If you would like to discuss your choices with the Honours Advisor (if, for
instance, you are thinking of changing degree scheme, or would like some
guidance on the requirements of your degree), you can make an appointment
for Monday 28th March.
3) If you are currently a 2nd or 3rd year, or on an Integrated Year Abroad,
you will need to choose which modules you would like to do. We will ask
you for MORE choices than the standard 2 per semester, so that if a class is
over-subscribed, you will then get your 2nd or 3rd choice.
4) Fill out and submit the online preference form by Sunday 3rd April (week 9)
at 5.00 pm at the latest. The web address for the form is:http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/classics/current/ug/hons-preadvising/
This address is located on the School of Classics website. The online form
will be available from 2pm Monday 28th March. Do NOT fill out your
module preferences on the University advising system.
5) Failure to submit the form on time could jeopardize your chances of getting
your preferred modules.
6) You should also fill out, or correct, your personal details electronically by
going to the university website: http://www.standrews.ac.uk/services/registry/advise.htm. You should NOT fill out your
module preferences electronically on this system.
7) After you have submitted your preferences through the online form, make an
appointment with your Honours Adviser using the Moodle appointments tool
at https://moody.st-andrews.ac.uk/moodle/course/view.php?id=5276 Meetings
will take place between Wednesday 6th and Monday 11th April, and you will
be able to sign up for your appointment from Monday 28th March to Sunday
3rd April.
If you are a Single Honours History student, wishing to do a module within the
SCHOOL OF CLASSICS, you should also complete the School of Classics on-line
preference form.
2
If you are not studying for a degree within the School, but would like to take a
module within the School, you do not need to fill out an online preference form (see
above). You must, however, come to see the Honours Advisor on Monday 28th
March.
QUOTAS
Each module will have a maximum intake of 15 students; this quota is provisional and
may be raised, but only if there is an unexpectedly high level of demand across all
modules. Modules with low demand may not run.
Students will be advised into modules on the basis of their degree choice and its main
requirements. For example, intending takers of degrees in Ancient History and
Archaeology will be given priority in AA modules as per Programme Requirements;
Classical Studies students interested in CL literature modules will have priority in CL
literature modules. All Single Honours students are guaranteed at least one of their
first choices in each semester and Joint Honours students are guaranteed a first choice
in one of their two semesters.
Please note that you may need to take specific modules to comply with your
programme requirements. Please ensure that you have refreshed your understanding
of the programme requirements in advance of filling out your application form; you
can consult the Course Catalogue at http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/coursecatalogue/ug/
Please note that if modules fill up at Pre-advising, it may be difficult (if not
impossible) to change course at Advising. You are therefore strongly recommended
to consider your choices at pre-Advising very seriously, as it may not be possible to
change them later.
ADVISING
It is a University requirement that you advise in person during pre-sessional week of
the first semester of 2016-17 (Week commencing 4th September 2016). Advising
will be an opportunity to change your module choices - subject to places being
available.
ENROLMENT AND CONFIRMATION OF CHOICES
In addition to the formal pre-advising and advising processes you will be required (as
in previous years) to ‘enrol’ on the modules of your choice: this just means registering
your presence on the module at the first class. Enrolment will usually take place in
week 1 of the relevant semester at the first advertised class hour. You are advised,
however, to watch the foyer notice-boards and check your e-mails for further details,
in case any special arrangements have been made, and, for example, for details of the
Dissertations Meeting (see below, Dissertations). University Registry will require
you to confirm your choices are correct on your student page in the third or fourth
week of semester.

DETAILS OF MODULES AVAILABLE 2014-15
SEMESTER 1
AA3020: Principles and Techniques of Archaeology
Coordinator: Dr Jon Coulston (jcnc)
Class Hour: Thursday 2-4 pm
This module offers a series of lectures and seminars on the central concerns of
archaeology and the theoretical approaches and implications of the subject. It will
provide a general grounding to enable students to understand archaeological reports
and apply this understanding to other parts of their degree. Thus, such areas as
excavation techniques, landscape survey, aerial photography, underwater
archaeology, heritage and museum studies, the archaeology of death, and political
archaeology are covered. There is no particular concentration on any one historical
period and material is chosen rather to illustrate a broad range of methods and issues.
What this means is that any period which interests individuals can be brought in to
play. The course is not so much designed to 'turn out' archaeologists as to make
students archaeologically literate. However, advice about how to make the most of
digging and fieldwork opportunities is part of the staff input, and many people have
gone on from this module to further archaeological careers.

to take degrees in Ancient History and Archaeology or the Mediaeval History
and Archaeology degree; it cannot be taken by other students. No quota will be
applied.
AA4121 The Ancient City of Rome
Co-ordinator: Jon Coulston (jcnc)
Class hour: Thursdays 9-11am
The module presents material for the history and archaeology of ancient Rome in an
inter-disciplinary manner, with methodological questions and problems also being
considered throughout. A time-span from the original development of settlement on
the site to the Gothic Wars of the sixth century AD has been selected as a manageable
period over which to develop themes and allow detailed examination of specific
topics. The objective is to familiarise students with a city which has been a centre of
power and religious ritual throughout its existence, in terms of mass residence,
political display, and both artistic and architectural elite patronage. The course will
guide students through the topography of the modern as well as of the ancient city,
7
making them aware of contemporary controversies concerning urban development,
atmospheric pollution, conservation of antiquities and mass-tourism pressures.

This module clashes with CL4XXX (Reception of Senecan drama).
AN3034 – Approaches to Ancient History
Coordinator: Dr. Carlos Machado (carm3)
Class hour: Thursday 2-4pm
Whereas antiquarians let the sources set their agenda, historians start with questions.
As a preparation for the serious study of Ancient History at Honours level, this
module aims to make students better historians through close study of a selection of
challenging and innovative works of scholarship. Each week students will read a book
or article that revolutionised its field. They will learn the value (and the limits) of
models, theory and different types of evidence. They will finish with a clearer
appreciation of the wide range of approaches open to ancient historians and the
importance of choosing between them.
Some preparatory reading:

AN4155: Religious Communities in the Late Antique World
Co-ordinator: Dr. Carlos Machado (carm3)
Class Hour: Wednesday 9-11am
This module will explore different strands of the religious history of the late antique
period, with special emphasis on the ways in which different religious groups
(Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc) reacted to the broader transformations that redefined
religious life during this period. The module will discuss topics like Religious
authority, forms and places of memory, and the construction of religious identities.
Special emphasis will be given to the relationship between religious changes and the
rise of universal empires that marked this period of history. The module will also
consider different approaches to the study of religion, especially from the social
sciences.

This module clashes with CL4455 (Roman Praise).
AN4XXX – Roman Slavery
Coordinator: Dr. Myles Lavan (mpl2)
Class Hour: Friday 11am-1pm
The institution of slavery lies at the heart of Roman society and culture. On one
estimate, slaves made up 30-40% of the population of Roman Italy, with the richest
households boasting hundreds of slaves. This course offers a holistic perspective on
Roman slavery. We will cover the demography, economics and law of slavery,
explore the mechanisms of control that enabled the wealthy to maintain the subjection
of so many slaves, examine philosophical debates about the ethics of mastery, and
trace the ramifications of the everyday experience of living with slaves throughout
Roman culture and literature.

CL4433: Religions of the Greeks
Co-ordinator: Dr. Ralph Anderson (rta1)
Class hour: Tuesday 2-4
Religion reached into virtually every corner of life in the ancient Greek world, from
the family home to the political assembly, from the field of battle to the
neighbourhood feast. This module will examine the range of religious practice and
experience in ancient Greece, primarily between ca. 500 and ca. 300 BC. Religious
festivals were a key component of local identity and in many cities were the highlight
of the civic year. We will examine the civic and political role of religion both at the
level of the polis and on a wider, regional level, in which PanHellenic cults articulated
a wider Greek identity. We will also look at the role of religion in the family and the
household and in the life of the individual from cradle to grave. Questions of method
and interpretation loom large in the study of Greek religion, and some of the key
problems (such as how to approach a religion that seems not to value ‘belief’) will
also be discussed. The overall aim is to attempt to understand a key – and very foreign
– element of ancient Greek mentality.
Some preliminary reading:
S. Price, Religions of the Ancient Greeks (Cambridge 1999) – very good general
introduction to Greek religion.
L. Bruit Zaidman and P. Schmitt Pantel, Religion in the Ancient Greek City
(Cambridge 1997).

R. Buxton (ed.), Oxford Readings in Greek Religion (Oxford 2000).
R. Parker, Polytheism and Society at Athens (Oxford 2005) - excellent study of a
single city’s religious system.
CL4455 Roman Praise
Co-ordinator: Dr Roger Rees (rdr1)
Class hour: Wednesday 9-11
Not popular (‘Nobody likes a creep’) but socially useful (‘flattery will get you
everywhere’), praise-discourse was as problematic in Roman culture as it is today,
although in different ways. This module will look at a variety of applications of and
attitudes towards praise-giving in Roman society, across a wide timescale (from the
Republic to Late Antiquity), and as testified in many genres, including prose and
verse. Contexts for praise-giving will include education, patronage, law, religion,
politics, death and memorialisation. The module will trace changes in praise-giving
practice and culture over the centuries as well as highlighting the different ways and
stages within an individual’s lifetime that praise-discourse was important.
Some preliminary reading:
R. D. Rees (ed.) Latin Panegyric (Oxford 2012).
This module clashes with AN4155 (Religious Communities).
10
CL4XXX – Reception of Senecan Drama
Co-ordinator: Dr. Emma Buckley (eb221)
Class hour: Friday 10-12
This module will explore Senecan tragedy (the 'dark side' of Seneca the Younger's
literary output) and its reception, via translation and adaption, in the early modern and
contemporary periods. The course will first put Seneca in contemporary context
(examining Greek and Roman tragic and epic antecedents, the relationship with
Seneca's philosophy, the political resonances of this Neronian literature). We will then
study Seneca’s most fertile period of influence, in select poetry and plays of the early
modern period, exploring how Senecan tragedy refracts the religious and cultural
pressures of Elizabethan England. The final section of the course will focus on
Senecan tragedy’s afterlife in the twentieth century (the work of Ted Hughes, Tony
Harrison, Carol Churchill and Sarah Kane): the module will analyse the ways in
which Senecan tragedy is still a powerful conduit for reflections on the problems of
tyrannical power, the limits of emotion and reason, and the nature of evil.
The module will make heavy use of the Early English Books Online (EEBO)
resource, which is available via the Library.

GK4117 – Lies, History and Ideology
Coordinator: Dr. Alex Long (agl)
Class hours: Tuesday and Thursday 4-5pm
We shall examine stories about the Athenian past, particularly the myth of
'autochthony', according to which the Athenians' native land gave birth to their
ancestors. We shall consider the role played by these stories in shaping Athenian civic
identity; our focus will be on the sophisticated exploration of and response to these
stories in Athenian literature, rhetoric and philosophy. An important theme discussed
by these texts is the political expediency of telling falsehoods about the past. The set
texts will be Euripides' Ion, selected parts of Isocrates' political writing, Plato's
Menexenus and selected parts of Plato's Republic.

GK4113 - Greeks and Barbarians
Coordinator: Prof. Jason König (jpk3)
Class Hour: Tuesday and Thursday 11am-12noon
Exploring Greek identity through representation of barbarians was a prominent
feature of Greek literature and culture across many centuries. This module examines
that theme in a range of authors and periods. It looks first at archaic epic, especially
Homer's Odyssey. The central part of the course then focuses on classical Athens,
especially Euripides and Aristophanes, as well as a selection of extracts from prose
texts, including Herodotus. The final part of the course then looks ahead, more
briefly, to the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, with extracts from the description of
India in Philostratus' Life of Apollonius of Tyana.

Coordinator: Dr. Alice König (arw6)
Class hours: Tuesday 9-11
This module studies the genre of epistolography through the selected letters of a
number of different Latin writers. The aims, methods, style and subject-matter of each

LT4201 – Roman Epic
Coordinator: Dr Emma Buckley (eb221)
Class hour: Wednesdays 11am -1 pm
For many, Roman epic is the Aeneid. But where did Virgil's poem come from, and
where did it go? What were the literary influences which shaped the composition of
the Aeneid; how were its techniques and innovations built upon by those who came
after? How are the archetypal motifs of Greek epic – manhood, kleos and war replayed in the central themes of Roman epic – fratricide, tyrannicide and civil war?
Virgil epitomises one Roman epic modality; but we shall also explore two others,
reading one book each of Ovid's Metamorphoses and Lucan's Pharsalia.

SEMESTER 2
AA4130: The Roman Army
Coordinator: Jon Coulston (jcnc)
Class Hour: Thursday 2-4pm
This module will present material for the history and archaeology of the Roman army
from the Early Republic through to the Late Empire. Students will study a series of
themes, including institutional development, expansion and defence of the Roman
Empire, the army and political culture, the army in battle, soldiers within Roman
society, the archaeology of self-identity, and the Roman military economy. Source
material will include historical and epigraphic texts, archaeological sites and finds,
and Roman iconography. The Roman army was the first truly professional standing
army in European history. It permeated Roman economy and society, and has
subsequently fascinated historians, soldiers, political scientists and artists up to the
present.

populated areas of the Mediterranean. Its centrality in imperial politics and culture, as
well as its long history, have contributed to an unparalleled archaeological record that
fascinates scholars and the world outside academia. This module will offer an
overview of this rich material, exploring a range of issues such as the impact of
empire; the nature of local public life; social and economic life; urban and rural
settlements; and aspects of religious life. It will include case-studies of cities like
Pompeii, Ostia and Aquileia, as well as of regions like the Tiber valley and Sicily.
The module will discuss the nature of the archaeological evidence in rural and urban
archaeology, and its implications for the understanding of the history and material
culture of a key area of the Roman empire.

AN4110 – The Culture of Roman Imperialism
Coordinator: Dr. Myles Lavan (mpl2)
Class hours: Friday 11am-1pm
What imperial powers believe and claim they are doing deserves just as much scrutiny
as their conduct in practice. This module explores how the Roman elite conceived
their imperial project: How did they explain and justify Rome’s conquest of the
Mediterranean world? How did they think Rome should behave towards its subjects?
It also considers how literary and visual culture were complicit in legitimising and
promoting Roman imperialism. The course will cover the key themes of Roman
imperial ideology, including divine sanction, cosmocracy (world-rule), peace and
pacification, the civilising mission and the barbarian. The focus is on the period 100
BC to 200 CE. Discussion will proceed through close analysis of a wide range of texts
and images.

AN4XXX – Greeks and Others
Coordinator: Prof. Tom Harrison (tehh)
Class hours: Thursday 9-11am
How did Greeks conceptualise others? What forms of contact were there between
Greeks and non-Greeks? How did the relationship of Greeks and others evolve as a
result of major historical events (the Persian wars, or the conquests of Alexander)?
This module examines the history of the Greek engagement with the Other (and of
Greek self-definition) from the archaic to the early Hellenistic periods, focussing in
particular on the different mediums through which the relationship was expressed:
ethnographic writing, coinage, panhellenic festivals, or the borrowing of artefacts.

CL4406 Herodotus
Co-ordinator: Dr Ralph Anderson (rta1)
Class hours: Tuesday 9-11am
Herodotus was known, even in antiquity, as both the ‘father of history’ and the ‘father
of lies’, but his reputation has undergone serious re-evaluation in recent years. This
module will examine all aspects of Herodotus’ work, and its value as historical
evidence, while at the same time seeking to locate the Histories in their late fifthcentury intellectual context. Topics will include his ideas of causation, use of sources,
the representation of foreign lands and peoples, religious beliefs, geographical
understanding, and his implicit critique of Athenian imperialism.

CL4445: Women in Ancient Societies
Coordinator: Dr. S. Lewis (sl50)
Class Hour: Tuesdays and Fridays 2-3pm
This module studies women and gender in Greece, the Hellenistic world and the
Roman Republic and Empire from different perspectives. It will consider
representations of women in literature, epigraphy and art, legal and forensic evidence,
and medical treatises. It will look at women in the context of ancient families and city
communities, marriage, children, ritual and religion and the existence or otherwise of
outlets for ‘individual’ fulfilment.

CL4458 – Ethics and Lifestyles: Philosophy and Ways of Living in
Antiquity
Coordinator: Dr. Crystal Addey (cja8)
Class hour: Wednesday 11am-1 pm
For the major philosophers and philosophical schools of antiquity (including
Platonism, Stoicism and Epicureanism), philosophy was not just a matter of abstract
17
ideas about the cosmos but of everyday conduct and ethics. Philosophy gave guidance
on how life should be lived. Issues such as mortality and immortality, death,
friendship, love and vegetarianism were common topics of debate. Biographies of
philosophers, often written by other philosophers, reflect this preoccupation with the
practical, presenting philosophers as examples of how to live, teach and act. This
module examines the functions, purposes and contexts of philosophical biography,
considering the interconnections and interplay between biography and philosophy in
antiquity. The focus will be primarily on the philosophy of the Roman Imperial period
(including the Second Sophistic) and Late Antiquity and texts such as Porphyry’s On
Abstinence from Killing Animals, Eunapius’ Lives of the Philosophers, and
Iamblichus’ On the Pythagorean Way of Life.
Some preliminary reading:

GK4110: Imagining the Symposium
Coordinator: Stephen Halliwell (fsh)
Class hour: Thursday 11am-1pm
This module explores the symposium - a key cultural institution of the ancient Greek
world - through its representation in both poetry and prose. The texts studied were all
either produced for performance at symposia or designed to evoke the mentality and
preoccupations (alcoholic, erotic, political, religious, social) of the occasion. They
range from the lyric and elegiac poetry of the archaic period (especially Alcaeus,
Theognis and Anacreon), via the two 'Socratic' Symposia of Plato and Xenophon in
the fourth century, to the continuing sympotic imagery of early Hellenistic epigrams.
The course will also make some supplementary use of the rich visual evidence (on
Greek vases) for the nature of the symposium. This is a module for those who like
thinking about drinking...

GK41XX - Wealth, Virtue and Happiness from Homer to Aristotle
Coordinator: Dr. Kleanthis Mantzouranis (km254)
Class hour: Tuesday and Friday 11am-12 noon
This module explores one of the most hotly debated topics in Greek literature from
Homer down to Aristotle, namely the nature of wealth and its place in the good life. Is
wealth a desirable good necessary for happiness? Or is it the underlying cause of
greed, injustice, and civil unrest? Is there, or should there be, a limit in the acquisition
of wealth? And how should wealth be used by those who possess it? In this module,
we shall explore how different authors at different times and across different literary
genres problematized the concept of wealth, its impact on communal life, and the way
it relates to central ethical concepts such as virtue (aretē), justice, and happiness
(eudaimonia). We will study extended passages from a broad range of Greek texts
such as Homer, Hesiod, Pindar, Solon, Aeschylus, and the philosophical works of
Plato and Aristotle.

GK4XXX – Narrating War in Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Herodotus,
Thucydides, Polybius
Coordinator: Dr. Nicolas Wiater (nw23)
Class hour: Tuesday and Thursday 3-4pm
War might not have been the father of all, but it certainly was the father of large-scale
Greek prose narrative and contributed to the development of Greek historical thought
and narrative to an extent that can hardly be overestimated. In this module we will
explore the narratives of the three major Greek historical writers whose works set the
standards and defined the genre for all generations to come.
The Histories of Herodotus, Thucydides and Polybius are of such complexity that
each and every one of them could be approached from a variety of different angles.
But since wars were the major concern of all of them and prompted them to write
their works in the first place, it is this particular aspect on which we shall focus in
class by studying selected passages from all three works in conjunction in the original
language and reading some relevant articles and chapters of modern scholarship to put
our discussions into a wider perspective.
19
Some of the key questions we will consider include the causes and origins of war
(why and how do wars begin?); the aesthetics of the battle narrative; the influence (or
lack thereof) of great personalities (e.g., Themistocles, Pericles, Hannibal) and the
forces that determine the course of history; narrative and realism; the role of
emotions both as part of historical explanation (emotions as motivating factors of
human action) and as a way of involving the reader in the horrors of war as depicted
in the narrative (and what the purpose of this reader involvement is); and the
reliability of ancient war narratives as historical sources.

LT4203 Latin Prose Composition
Co-ordinator: Juan Coderch (jc210)
Class hour: Tuesday and Friday 12 noon-1pm
This module will deal with the different ways in which students may make use of
their knowledge of Latin in order to produce both translations from English texts into
grammatically correct Latin and also free compositions directly in Latin. This will
involve a more active process of language learning than is required for translation
from Latin into English, though it will also have benefits for the reading of original
texts.
The content of the module will deal with all aspects of the Latin language that need
special study for effective translation into Latin: participles, the treatment of abstract
nouns, equivalence between English and Latin idioms, etc.
This module clashes with AN4110 (The Culture of Roman Imperialism).

LT4214 – Latin Philosophical Writing
Coordinator: Dr. Emma Gee (ergg)
Class hour: Wednesday 10am-12 noon
This module will explore a tradition of philosophy which has often been considered
'secondary' or 'derivative', namely the writing of philosophical works in Latin. This
module aims to evaluate Latin philosophical writing in its own right. Taken as a
whole, the Latin philosophical corpus present an impressive record of cultural
assimilation and innovation. We shall see how, from the Late Republic onwards,
Roman philosophy engages with debates current in the Hellenistic philosophical
schools, Romanising them in the process, and placing them in the context of world
order under the Roman empire.

LT4207 – Roman Comedy
Coordinator: Dr. Beppe Pezzini
Class hour: Friday 9-11am
Through a close reading of selected passages in Latin, the module aims to delve into
the comic world of the Latin playwrights Plautus and Terence. Key topics that will be
considered include the relationship with other traditions, such as the Italic and the
Hellenistic, and the influence on later Latin literature; the impact of historical events
such as the victory over Cartago, Pergamum and Greece; genre conventions, stockcharacters and their subversion.

DISSERTATION MODULES : CL4999 (now incorporating AN4999), GK4999,
LT4999, CL4998 and GK4998
A dissertation offers the opportunity either to pursue in greater depth a topic which
you have touched on elsewhere, or to study an area which is not covered by the rest of
our Honours syllabus. Dissertations are compulsory for all Single Honours degrees
offered by the School except Classics. They may also be taken by students in Joint
Honours degrees. These are (with the exception of CL4998 and GK4998) only to be
taken in the final year of Honours; they may all be taken (with the exception of
CL4998 and GK4998) in either semester.
Please note: you are only allowed to do one dissertation within the School (for further
details of the regulations, see the Course Catalogue). So if you are taking, say, Joint
Honours Ancient History and Latin, you may do a dissertation in Ancient History
(CL4999) or Latin (LT4999) but not both.
Available dissertation modules:
CL4999 Dissertation (Short): topics in Ancient History, Ancient History and
Archaeology or Classical Studies
CL4998 Dissertation (Long) in Classical Studies – 60 credits [This is only
available for students taking a year abroad – i.e. away from St Andrews – on
an approved exchange scheme.]
GK4999 Dissertation in Greek
GK4998 Dissertation in Greek (Long) – 60 credits [This module is only
available to students in Single Honours Greek. It can be taken over either one
or two semesters.]
LT4999 Dissertation in Latin
LT4998 Dissertation in Latin (Long) – 60 credits [This module is only
available to students in Single Honours Latin. It can be taken over either one
or two semesters].
23
What you need to do:
If you would like to (or if you must) do a dissertation, it is important to get thinking
about what might make a suitable topic for a dissertation as soon as you can. The
Dissertations Coordinator (Prof. Jason König) will hold a meeting for all dissertation
intenders in Week 12: day and time to be notified nearer the time. All students
intending to do a dissertation in 2016-17 should attend this meeting, even if you
intend to do a dissertation in Semester 2. At the meeting you will be asked to state a
provisional topic for their dissertation.
In preparation, you should feel free to discuss possible dissertation topics and
bibliography with any member of staff; you should be aware, however, that –
due to research leave and other teaching commitments – the Dissertations
Coordinator may not be able to allocate you to that member of staff as a
supervisor.
We need information about your chosen topics now in order to match students with
appropriate supervisors. If you cannot attend the meeting you must inform Prof.
König of your provisional topic via e-mail ([email protected]).
Students are also advised to pick up a copy of the Dissertations Module Booklet from
the School office, when it becomes available.
Please note that it is NOT normally possible to advise into a dissertation module in
Advising in September or Re-advising in February, as supervisors and topics will
already have been allocated.

MODULES PROVISIONALLY AVAILABLE IN 2016-17
The following skeleton list of modules should be treated only as a very rough guide.
As a result of staff research leave, new appointments, and other staffing changes, it is
virtually certain that not all the modules listed here will, in actual fact, be available; it
is equally certain that other modules, whether new or revived, will be available. We
will do our best to make sure that there is at least an equivalent range of available
modules in all of the degree programmes.
