The following notes for guidance indicate where classical languages and other classical subjects fit into the MML Tripos. The classical papers available in Parts IA and IB are referred to as GL papers (short for ‘Greek and Latin’). They are contained in a list (called ‘Schedule C’ in the MML Tripos) which is given directly below.
If, having read through these notes, you need further guidance, you should approach your Director of Studies in MMLL, who may refer you for detailed advice on particular papers to your college’s Director of Studies in Classics. You may also wish to consult the MMLL and Classics Liaison Officers, Dr Alessandro Launaro (al506@cam.ac.uk) in Classics and Dr Christian Torres (christian.torres-gutierrez@admin.cam.ac.uk) in MMLL.
