Course Overview:	The ancient, medieval and early modern studies program allows students to shape their subject choices according to an historical period as well as an academic discipline. Students completing one of the ancient, medieval and early modern studies majors will become aware of interdisciplinary links between subjects based in similar periods but in different disciplines. As well as providing a major area of study for BA students, the program also offers an interdisciplinary honours year that focuses on medieval studies, Renaissance studies, or early modern studies that may lead to postgraduate work. The program offers a flexible structure that presents a cluster of three programs within an ancient, medieval and early modern framework.

Entry Requirements:	The Diploma in Arts (Ancient and Medieval Studies) is only available to students who are enrolled in a non-Melbourne Model degree course at the University of Melbourne. Students need to be able to fit a three-year sequence of study alongside their degree to be eligible for the Diploma in Arts.
Core Participation Requirements:	The Diploma in Arts requires a standard level of ability across all disciplines. It will be assumed students are able to access and attend classes on a regular basis, are capable of learning in a University environment and will be able to take responsibility for their own learning. Any ability beyond this threshold will be robustly supported through the curriculum. There are no pre-requisites for first year subjects, and any intensive use of IT or technologies will be adequately supported. Certain subjects have more specific requirements and demands, such as fieldwork or travelling, which are clearly outlined in the Handbook's subject description. However, the University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. The Faculty Disability Contact Officer works with students, the University Disability Liaison Unit and teaching staff to assist students with their special requirements, with a particular focus on accommodations for in-class and examination assessment tasks. Further details on the disability support scheme can be found at http://www.services.unimelb.edu.au/disability.
Further Study:	Arts offers many opportunities for further study. A postgraduate diploma, leading on to a masters degree or PhD, can add vocational and/or research skills to your undergraduate arts degree and increase your employment options. Arts graduates also use postgraduate study to explore in greater depth and detail subjects they found interesting during their undergraduate study or to study a completely new field of knowledge.
