Ancient History or/and Egyptology 2010

Hey

I was just wondering who else is going to be doing Ancient History in September

I'm going to be doing Ancient History with Egyptology 2010 and just firmed it!

Very jealous! I wanted to apply for Egyptology but I wasn't doing history so couldn't. I've firmed Egyptian Archaeology instead. :biggrin:

Tell me this, do you get to learn Egyptian language on that course?

Hey

Thats cool with the egyptian archaeology! I was considering that one myself!

Yeah the compulsory language element is middle egyptian

Do you know anything about opportunities to travel? I asked someone before about study abroad and they said I couldnt but I'm not sure about travel

I'm not sure, as you'll be with the history department and not the archaeology department. I know that I have to compile a 70 day portfolio and there's money for me to travel around to get it though. But I'd give all that up to have your course! Let's swap! :biggrin:

I'm happy with the course generally, my only problem is with not having enough language in there. I declined Liverpool's Egyptology course and I regret it for that reason now! But there's a light at the end of the tunnel, if you guys get more language units than I do, perhaps I can enroll on those or learn a bit from you guys!

Oh I see what you mean Magick, nah you wont be going on any digs or anything, you'll just be there for the classes.

Im sure that you can do language elements as part of free credits because I have to do Egyptian archaeology modules within the course too

Nah I doubt I could do digs but ahh well I'm looking forward to it anyway =]

Thing is, you could always pop along with us in the summers and such anyway. You'd just have to pay up :frown:

although we don't get it all free either, we just get subsidies. I imagine you'd be welcome! We can't dig in Egypt though, not until we get our degrees apparently.

Yeah I heard about that, I was told that undergrads arent allowed to dig in Egypt but in Liverpool you can supposedly :s-smilie:

But yeah can travel but just outside the department

Im getting quite excited about this now =]

Yeah exactly! They told me in Liverpool that they have ways of sneaking you in. :biggrin:

Me too! I'll probably see you around the departments, I can't imagine there will be too many of us.

Lol I'd applied to archaeology of ancient civilisations at Liverpool but decided it wasnt for me

Well theres less than a hundred for the history department but I can imagine less than half of that would be ancient history and then half of that Ancient History with egyptology

and then I can imagine a similar number for egyptian archaeology
