Develop a unique insight into the etymology of modern language
Latin is the root of many modern languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Studying Latin helps you gain an understanding of the grammar, vocabulary and syntax of these languages. It also develops your communication skills, which can be useful in a variety of fields, such as law, journalism and academia. With the rapid emergence of technology in most industries, individuals who are able to comprehend complex learning material will be well-placed to succeed in a competitive job market.
UNE offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate specialisations in Latin designed to provide you with the language acquisition skills to improve your ability to analyse texts, identify patterns and draw logical conclusions, all skills which will be sought after by employers in the modern world. Because UNE has a long history of helping adults prepare ready themselves for changes in the workplace, our Latin courses focus on improving your command of both Latin and English, ensuring that you are future-fit for work in any field.
Most of our students opt for online learning, where they become part of a community of adults who bring their life and work experiences together to build tangible networks for the future. Those who study on-campus can benefit from housing, sports facilities and support services. Whether online or on-campus, you can choose to study full-time or part-time over three trimesters.
With UNE, you’ll graduate prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, whether you choose to pursue a career as an academic or you are interested in law, journalism, medicine or government work. By choosing UNE, you’ll be studying with an industry leader in the provision of online lifelong learning. Year after year, students award us the maximum 5-star ratings for Overall Experience and Student Support in The Good Universities Guide.
