Classical Studies Line - Research Resources

Introduction

This home page contains links to Internet resources useful to students of the Classical Studies line in the MA in Humanities.

These resources are external to the Open University and neither the University nor the Course Team can accept any responsibility for their content. They have, however, been selected by members of the Course Team as potentially useful to students of A860 and A861. The Course Team welcomes any contributions of new links to web pages which may be useful to students. If you experience any difficulties with the sites below - e.g. the address no longer works - please follow this link to report the problem so we can fix it.

Students who have finished or are about to finish A861 might be interested in downloading the supporting supplementary booklet for the dissertation module, A867 (PDF format, 513 KB). This version applies to the course presented in 2009 - it will be updated each year. To view or print this file you must have Adobe Reader (or a similar program) installed on your computer. You can download Adobe Reader free from Adobe's website. It's also available from your Online Applications CD-ROM.
