Literae Humaniores

Oxford University


At the time of my attendance at Oxford Universityc, the Latin term 'Literae Humaniores' referred to the course of studies, lasting four years, that included two distinct categories - the first, Classical Greek and Latin languages and literature, ended with an examination (called Honour Moderations) after two years; the second, Philosophy and Ancient History, ended with a 'Final Honours' examination. This combination of studies, each earning a 'First', 'Second', 'Third', 'Fourth' or 'Pass' from the Examiners, was called 'Greats'.
