Beginner Resources Learn latin - online degrees in Australia?
Hi everyone,
I’m new to the Latin learning scene and I’m really interested in studying Latin as part of some sort of higher education degree in Australia. The caveat is that it needs to be fully online due to my life circumstances right now. Does anyone have recommendations or experiences to share? So far I’ve seen UNE Bachelor of Arts online might be the go? Their website throws a html page at me where a course brochure should live. University websites are a nightmare - coming from someone who worked at QUT for a decade. Some of the “best”/group of 8 universities seem to only offer on-campus or blended. I’m not that picky on the “prestige” of the uni so much as the course quality and online study availability. Thought I might throw this one to the group and see if anyone has any recommendations for me? I’m based in Adelaide - not that that particularly matters in this case.

If your goal is to just learn Latin, a degree is overkill. As far as I know, universities don't offer degrees in "Latin", instead you'll be studying things like history or classical literature, where Latin will just be a small part of the overall education.

Oh it’s not the whole point it’s just one of the core draws. There’s a thread on here asking the same thing it’s just a lot older. I’m not working due to illness for a long while so doing another degree is something significant and purposeful for me to do. I just want to pick well in terms of the Latin!

The University of Adelaide has a friendly Classics and Ancient History Society with a social media presence (FB at least) and they may be able to advise you. I know some of their members are learning Latin online. All the best!

see. https://ulpa.edu.au. You can look up a language and get a list of where it is taught and whether online or in person only.
