Postgrad Classics with Classical Civilisation undergrad?

Hey Guys

I'm planning on starting a Classical Civilisation degree at Warwick next year. The course looks really good, and the uni is great, however I was wondering whether studying Classical Civ rather than Classics will prevent me from doing Postgrad in Classics (should I fall in love with the languages and wish to master in them). I have never studied the languages before so cannot do Classics undergrad, but I do have the choice on my course to take several modules in Latin. Would taking a course like Classical Civ make me unable to get into Postgrad Classics at the top uni's like Oxbridge, even if I got a first, and got top marks on the language modules?
Thanks

I doubt that it will affect your ability to do a Masters in Classics at most universities (including mine - Manchester) as I've known people even with no Greek or Latin start one of the languages at postgraduate level. The fact that you're keen to take some language modules at Warwick will look good on any postgraduate application.
