Greek (3 Years) [BA]

Applications are considered on the basis of an assessment of the quality of the personal statement, the reference, and past and predicted academic achievements. We encourage applicants to give details of their motivation for studying this particular subject.

Normally, we only interview applicants who are applying with non-standard entry requirements.

We warmly encourage applications from mature applicants and students returning to education. All such applications are considered on an individual basis.  Applicants are encouraged to contact the Admissions Officer ( mary.beagon@manchester.ac.uk) for any discussion that they might find useful.

We warmly encourage overseas applicants. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Admissions Officer ( mary.beagon@manchester.ac.uk) for any discussion that they might find useful.

We welcome applications for deferred entry and feel a gap year benefits many students. 

We ask applicants to let us know as early as possible if they are intending to defer.  This helps us to adjust the number of offers we make, in order to achieve the required number of students in a given year. 

Please note that our Classics degree programmes will be revised in 2013, to make their structures more clear and effective: this means that the Greek degree programme will no longer be available to new students from September 2013 ( those starting their degree in September 2012 may be assured that they will continue on the same degree-programme for the full length of their degree). Applicants who wish to defer entry to this degree programme to September 2013 will be offered all its constituent course-units, but should apply to the revised Classics programme, which offers specialism in Greek or Latin, or both languages.

If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry.  In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved.  We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.If you are applying for a place for the same year of entry through UCAS Extra, you should provide additional evidence of your suitability for the course. If you are applying through clearing you are required to meet the clearing requirements. In both UCAS Extra and clearing the places will be subject to availability.

We will consider applications to transfer to Manchester from other universities and would normally ask for a letter explaining why a transfer was needed, relevant transcripts, a copy of the applicant's UCAS form and a confidential reference from one of the applicant's current university tutors.

We will consider applications to transfer from other degrees within the University of Manchester but applicants are required to have the A-level grades (or other qualifications) needed for entry to that degree programme.

Both of the above are subject to our having enough places to accommodate such applicants.  Enquiries should be made to the admissions administrator for the subject (see contact details).
