Welcome to the Department of Classics and Archaeology.
We would like to welcome you to the University of Nottingham and the Department of Classics and Archaeology. We're delighted that you're joining our academic community and we look forward to helping you begin a new chapter in your life. In due course, we look forward to meeting you in person.
Wherever your academic interests lie, we’re sure your studies here will extend them in exciting new directions, as well as help you to develop your intellectual confidence and maturity.
We hope you enjoy your time at Nottingham. If you’re unsure about anything in these early weeks, don’t be afraid to ask questions or seek help from staff.
Choosing your modules
Alongside your compulsory modules, you may be asked to choose some optional ones. Guidance about this process can be found on your Moodle community hub which you can access when you have your university log-in details. There will also be opportunities for you to ask academic staff members questions about the curriculum during the module guidance event and a meeting with your personal tutor during Welcome.
Next steps
Keep an eye out for an email about how to register online and receive your university username and password. Once you have done so, take a look at your module guidance on Moodle and start thinking about what modules you want to pick.
Postgraduate research students are invited to contact their supervisor(s) and/or the Director of PGR Studies, Dr Holly Miller.
Get to know the Humanities Building
AccessAble is a service providing an interactive map for accessible routes across campus. It also provides accessibility information for individual buildings. You may wish to familiarise yourself with the Humanities building before you arrive with the Humanities Building Accessibility Guide.
Undergraduate reading list
Once you get here you’ll have access to multiple on-campus libraries to read and study in (as well as access to thousands of e-books). Until then, we’ve put together a list of books that you might want to take a look at before you arrive.
