The Sanskrit pathway is designed to give students a high level of competence in reading and understanding a wide range of Sanskrit texts, and a good knowledge of their cultural context. We also encourage students to learn Pali and Prakrit. The pathway assumes no previous knowledge of Sanskrit or its script, though we do prefer candidates to have some record of successful language-learning, for example an A-level qualification in a European language. Students with previous knowledge of Sanskrit will be accommodated in a higher level module.
Students must take modules to the value of 4 units in each year of their degree. If a student passes 4 modules units in one Pathway Language then the language will be named in the degree title, i.e. BA South Asian Studies (Sanskrit). Text, Directed Readings and literature modules, and an Independent Study Project in which the language is used to a large extent all count as language modules.
