Parts of the final state examination and its content

The state final examination consists of an examination and a defence of the bachelor thesis. The defence of the bachelor thesis is oral and consists of a short presentation of the thesis, a response to the opinions of the opponents and a discussion.
The examination is written and oral.

The written part tests the ability to translate, using a dictionary, a Latin prose text from the classical period and to apply practically the knowledge of Latin morphology and syntax within the scope of the courses in Latin grammar I-V.

The oral part tests, on one prose and one poetic text, the student's competence necessary to read, translate, analyse and interpret Latin texts of the classical period. The texts are selected from the works of Cicero and Virgil. The examination also tests knowledge of the development of Roman literature and a basic knowledge of the connections with Greek literature, knowledge of the most important works of ancient literature on the basis of their own reading in translation and in the original, and a basic orientation in the historical and social context of the ancient world. An integral part of the examination is also the demonstration of basic knowledge of the methodological approaches applied in Classical philology. In addition to courses in Latin grammar, this part of the exam builds on courses in Greek and Roman Literature I and II, seminars in reading Latin authors, and an introduction to classical philology.
More detailed information can be found in the IS MU for the course "State Final Examination for Bachelor of Latin Language and Literature".
