Fingers crossed if we're meant to take more AH courses. I know for sure they are super accommodating and looking to expand their Classics program tracks (sadly unlike other programs from my experience). Tim Power is great! Thanks so much for your insight.

haha Rutgers is as Jersey as it gets!

Thats great info! Thanks so much. Im sure the undergrad AH track is similar to MA program.

Yes its a great department! I've studied at RU before they introduced this program. Thank you so much for your help!

Would love to hear your feedback or knowledge of how different it was compared to the normal Classics MA degree. TIA!

Oh amazing! Congrats!

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was looking for. Its crazy how different the systems are, but your insight was extremely helpful. The essay part is terrifying, but hopefully the professors are willing to work with you. Did you find there was a difficult transition back to us school curriculum and expectations?

Hi all, Im new here but have been lurking for a while. I was hoping if someone could provide some insights regarding the UK academic culture. I've completed my post bacc at an American ivy for the classics and have gained MA admission to UCL's ancient history program. I've only experienced American programs and the uk programs are so different from what I've been reading. UCL's Ancient history program requires 1 year FT, 180 credits. I believe they have 3 semesters vs. American 2 semesters. While some courses vary in credit amounts, how many classes do Ft students generally take or rather, for how many classes make up the 60 credit course load? Do the courses generally run 2-3x a week? I think I read somewhere that classes in the uk are usually 1x a week, but longer class times. Any insight would be appreciated. Im trying to picture what my schedule could look like so I can plan my finances (I'll be placing my newborn baby in daycare--surprise!). Thank you so much for your help or any uk advice!
