| Course description |
The courses taken by students on a study-abroad year will change from year to year, and from institution to institution. It is essential that the courses chosen by the student fit with their curriculum at Edinburgh University.

| Additional Information (Assessment) |
The assessment mode may be different from the one indicated above, including written and oral exams, practicals or other forms of assessment, depending on the student¿s chosen courses at the host institution. The courses at the host institution must total 20 ECTS.
Where a student does not have access to university courses, and an alternative assessment mode has been formally approved, the student will be assessed through coursework, in the form of two 4,000 words essays to substitute for the 20 ECTS. Each of the two essays will be worth 50% of the total assessment. The student will acquire full details on the coursework and submission requirements through the subject area¿s International Officer.
No qualified mark will be recorded on the student's degree profile for their study-abroad in either of the two study modes.

| Special Arrangements |
When access to university courses is not possible during the year abroad, long essays based on independent study carried out while abroad may substitute for these courses, at the discretion of the Head of the Classics Subject Area. The student will write two essays of approximately 4,000 words each. Each essay will count for 50% of the total mark for this course. The topic and title of each essay must be agreed between the student and a supervisor before the start of the academic year in which the work is to be carried out. One essay will be sent to the Classics office by a set date early in Semester 2. The second essay will be submitted to the Classics office by the first day of the first semester of the following year, the student's fourth year. |
