Classics & Ancient History MPhil (B)
University Of Birmingham
Laura, September 2007Overall score
Study experience
This course involved 50% teaching and 50% individual research. Lecture hours totaled, at most, 3 hours per week. The rest of the time is personal research. Being a research degree meant that a lot of work was needed on a personal level, with guidance, rather than being told what to do. prior knowledge is definitely necessary, the thesis would be extremely difficult to someone with no knowledge, even though the subject is chosen by the student. This course definitely allows you to progress, usually onto a PhD. You get out of the course what you put into it, the more work you do, the better your results and the more you enjoy the subject and the research. This is not a course for those wishing to scrape a pass. Since classes are small (one of mine had only 4 students) there is a lot of interaction with the teaching staff. Their enthusiasm rubs off on the students and inspires you to work harder.
Facilities
Lectures are held in comfortable lecture theatres. Seminars, depending on class size, take place either in the department library or museum, or in the lecturer's offices. this makes for a cosy and friendly atmosphere. IT resources are excellent. Library resources are adequate, in some cases they are excellent but it depends on the specific area of your research.
Postgraduate life
At MPhil level the students are there to work and are of roughly the same mentality. It's not a course to be entered into lightly, it requires a lot of work on your own, so self discipline and motivation are definite must-haves. The small class sizes mean that students often form close groups and meet up outside of lectures for both academic discussions and social drinking.
