Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Pre-Registration Midwifery] From University of Plymouth

You must choose to study texts in three of the following subjects: Biblical versions; exegetical literature; early poetry; liturgy; historical literature; secular literature; monastic literature; hagiography; translations of Greek patristic texts; theological texts; (or any other subject approved by the Faculty Board). The choice of the precise texts to be read in each of the three subjects selected is decided by consultation between yourself and your supervisor in the first week of Michaelmas term.

The examination (towards the end of the third (Trinity) term) takes the form of four three-hour papers. These consist of:

• one paper with essay questions on the history, literature, and culture of the Syriac Churches
• three papers on the three specialist options, containing passages from the set texts for translation from Syriac into English and for comment, and also essay questions related to the set texts.
