Sorry for the delayed response... I am an American at an American University, but would love to Study classics in the UK and then work there. Is the market for humanities as bad in the UK as the US? Would being an American put me at a significant disadvantage for UK professor jobs. If it makes any difference, I am looking at Scottish unis (Edinburgh and St Andrews). In short, can I realistically expect to find employment after graduation in the UK, either as a professor(ideally) or perhaps some other university job (administration etc).
Thanks!
Edit: Also, I am looking at the requirements a bit more and am curious if they are as relaxed as they seem. It seems for example that no GRE is required. Furthermore, it seems that fluency in Latin/Greek is not required(some masters offer intro courses) and no French/German is required. I know some Latin, but my interest is largely historical in translation, so this seems to good to be true. (I only looked at the St Andrews site)
