MA FAQs

• Please consult our Degree Structures page for the Scheme of Awards and read the programme rules for your own degree very carefully.
• This will also inform you about progression rules (moving from one year to the next of your degree programme), the modules which are compulsory in different years, and the rules on calculating award classifications.

The Postgraduate page lists all available Greek and Latin modules (see 'Courses planned for 2019-20').

Here below is a list of codes have been used overt he past three years. If your intended module is not listed do not worry, it just means that UCL will need to set up such a code and you should use the relevant Intercollegiate Placeholder code in the meantime (see the very bootom of this section).

Intercollegiate Placeholder Codes

If you are taking a module at another institution but UCL haven't yet created a code as per the list above you can use the following codes while the specific module code is being created. As you cannot enter the same code twice on Portico, if, for example, you are taking two 20 credit modules at another institution you should enter the 40 credit placeholder code.

• Please consult the UCL on-line timetable. The custom timetable is very useful in seeing clearly the terms and class times for particular modules. If you use your personal timetable function, this updates overnight so you won't be able to see your personal timetable on the same day you submit your module selection.
• It is useful to consult the UCL Registry academic calendar which numbers all weeks throughout the year, as these week numbers will appear on the UCL Online Timetable.
• However, more informally, academic staff are likely to refer to teaching weeks 1-10 in both terms.

Moodle is the e-learning environment used by UCL for lecturers to make information and lecture resources available to students. All modules have their own Moodle pages. This is also where you will submit coursework via Turnitin. Once your modules are confirmed on Portico, you will be automatically enrolled on the Moodle pages for those modules. If for some reason you are not enrolled on the Moodle pages for any of your confirmed modules, you will need to self-register as a student, using your UCL email address, on the relevant Moodle webpage. You will not be able to submit coursework via Turnitin if you do not do this. Please consult the Student Moodle guide. If you have any problems with Moodle, please email Alex Balciunas.

Yes, we offer a range of one-off study skills sessions and strongly encourage students to attend. We will email you to notify you about dates, times and content of sessions.

The Department takes careers guidance very seriously and encourages students to take advantage of advice from the UCL Careers Service and opportunities for work experience and internship. Dr Antony Makrinos is the Department's Careers Liaison Officer and Robert Donovan is our contact within the UCL Careers Service. The Department has a Careers dedicated webpage and holds a range of one-off Careers sessions in terms 1 and 2, including a Careers Forum in November, which involves Departmental alumni talking about their careers. The series Alumnus/Alumna of the Month also provides an insight into the different career paths you might choose when your studies end.

Common Room
The Department of Greek and Latin has an Undergraduate and a Postgraduate Common Room. The Postgraduate Common Room is Room G02 on the ground floor of Gordon House. This is where your pigeon-holes are located - please check them regularly for correspondence. There are computers you can use at the back of the room. Please inform Alex if any of the computers (or indeed anything else) is not working and she will arrange for them to be repaired.

Print/Copy Facilities in Gordon House
Printing facilities are offered in the UG Common Room in Gordon House. There is also printing available in the UCL Library and in UCL cluster rooms, of which there are many. The next closest printer to the UG Common Room is in the Institute of Archaeology next door (31-34 Gordon Square).
As UCL uses a particular printing system (print@UCL) you can print from any computer on-campus and collect your print from any print@UCL-enabled machine.

Drinking Water in Gordon House
The kitchen is too small to allow students to use it. However, there is a fridge in the PG Common Room and there are many cafes and eating places at UCL and in the UCL Union.

Students are, of course, welcome to use the Bili tap in the kitchen in order to obtain drinking water or boiling water. There is a sign on the cupboard above the tap to remind you which of the tap side is hot and which side is cold.

You are encouraged to attend as many lectures and events as possible, not only in the Department but throughout UCL. Please see the Department's list of lectures and public events.
