University of Wales Trinity Saint David; Lampeter Campus
Oh yeah, living at a 192 year old university.
I was born in the city home to the oldest university in the English world, and now go to the third oldest in Britain.
I'll be studying Ancient and Medieval (European) history for 3 years, with hopes to stay on for at least a Masters.
I got in with an unconditional offer too.
I don't have a timetable yet.
But these are my first year modules;
Compulsory Skills for Academic Study (20 Credits): This module is the essential introduction to the requirements of university level education.
Defenders, Conquerors, Vanquished: Greek and Hellenistic History (20 credits): Introduction to the history of the Greek world from the Persian Wars to the battle of Actium.
From Village to Empire: An Introduction to the History of Rome (20 credits): Covering the history of Rome from the regal period to Late Antiquity.
The Middle Ages: from Alfred the Great to the Reformation (20 credits): An introduction to the history and sources of the Medieval period.
Knights and Castles (20 credits): This module explores the importance and impact of knights in society.
Optional (Choose 1)Reading Antiquity: A Survey of Ancient Literature (20 credits): An introduction to the study of Greek and Roman literature through a survey of the genre from the Archaic period to Late Antiquity.
Athens and Rome: Life and Culture in Classical Antiquity (20 Credits): Introducing aspects of culture and society in Athens and Rome, from theatre to warfare.
Classical Mythology and Art (20 Credits): This module introduces students to Greek and Roman mythology and its uses in art.
Learning, Knowledge and Education (20 credits): This module explores the philosophy and theory of education and how it affects practice.
Historical and Contemporary issues in Education (20 credits): The module introduces students to key educational reformers and philosophers in the 21st century.
Introduction to Fieldwork (20 credits): This module gives you the chance to take part in fieldwork
Every course has to gain 60 credits for the year. All first years have to take the "Skills for Academic Study" course.
Each course has 2 compulsory modules. Then you have to take 3 more modules of your choice.
I'm taking a dual-course though, so I have to take the 2 compulsory modules from both of them, leaving me with room for 1 optional module.
I'm thinking I'd like to do "Athens and Rome: Life and Culture in Classical Antiquity".
Most courses offer optional modules from similar courses too, hence me having a choice of a History module and an Archaeology module.
