As a programme designed for applicants who wish to add Classical Studies to their list of qualifications, this qualification serves as a potential entry-point for postgraduate study – it will serve graduates in good stead for any future studies in the subject. It is also hoped that the programme will help graduates in teaching at secondary-school level. Applicants who wish to use this programme to enhance their range of teaching subjects are advised to contact the Teaching Council before applying to ensure recognition. Beyond such specifics, however, graduates of this programme are well prepared to find employment in a wide range of sectors (such as arts administration, education, media, communications, technology and more).
