Classical Diploma

The highest honor comes to students of Classics at graduation, when those scholars who have completed special requirements in both Latin and Greek are awarded Classical Diplomas. This tradition began at Exeter in 1885 and today the Academy is one of the few schools to award such a diploma. By exploring the language and literature of two ancient languages, students have the opportunity to gain an even deeper understanding of two cultures whose philosophy, art and history have had such an impact on so many aspects of subsequent cultures.

Special prizes are designated for students of the Classics. Since studying Latin and Greek has such a long tradition at Exeter, these prizes are among the most prestigious awarded by the Academy.
