Qualifications from the University of Oxford
BA (Hons) in Literae Humaniores (Classics)
Worcester College, Oxford
Specialisations: Greek tragedy, Art and archaeology, Ovid, Modern Greek poetry
MPhil in Greek and Latin Literature
Worcester College, Oxford
Specialisations: Roman comedy, Senecan tragedy, Medieval Latin epic, English-Latin bilingualism in Renaissance English poetry
Choosing the two-year Master's by Research enabled me to make the journey across from Classics to English, though I had to jump a few extra hurdles along the way! I took an extra exam and completed part of the Oxford English Faculty's Master's programme as well as the Classics MPhil, in order to transition across to early modern studies for my doctoral work. I highly recommend moving across different faculties and departments if you can; it will enrich your research and your life forever!
