The Centre for Classics and Archaeology offers a full stream of study in the ancient languages Ancient Greek and Latin, see Latin. Proficiency in both of these languages at the earliest possible stage is highly recommended for those wishing to specialise in the study of the ancient Greco-Roman world. The ancient languages are thus a fundamental part of the major and the honours program in Classics and Archaeology, see Classics and archaeology. Both languages are available as streamed programs of study that can be commenced from first/second year. These can commence either at beginners level or the post-VCE stream. The centre also offers a Diploma of Arts (Ancient Languages), which runs concurrently with the arts degree see Diploma of Arts (Ancient Languages).
