Mature student considering an MA in Classical Civilisation/Culture

Why not? I did a Greek language module with the OU more or less on a whim and now am trying to get an undergraduate degree finally in some kind of ancient languages angle

I think @PinkMobilePhone was doing classics with the OU at some level (not sure if undergrad or masters? Or both?) and might be able to give some more insight. Unfortunately the Greek module I did with the OU was withdrawn (the year I did it was the last year), unless it's been brought back, so I can't give too much insight into their course specifically.

Note also UCL has a CertHE programme and the opportunity to take life learning modules through them, at the undergraduate level - including language modules, if you wanted to develop some background in that. They are the same courses taken by undergraduates though so can be scheduled any time Mon-Fri between 9 and 6 so if you have work commitments that may not be feasible. You can see more here though: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/classics/open-days-outreach/life-learning-and-certificate-higher-education-classical-world

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I have in fact started the course, and I am really enjoying the challenge. I'll have a look at the UCL information, I hadn't heard of that and it's something that might be interesting for the future.

Ah lol sorry I didn't see the original date of posting! Hope you are enjoying it

No sorry needed! I've looked at the link and it's definitely something I'd be interested to do after this.
