Here's what University of Glasgow says about its Computing Science / Latin course.
Computing science is wide-ranging: from programming and engineering large software systems, to the design and evaluation of human–computer interfaces, algorithms, computer and network systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval and big data systems. Latin involves the study of the Latin language and literature, as well as the history and culture of the Romans.
Why study this course at the University of Glasgow?
The School of Computing Science launched the pioneering Centre for Computing Science Education, in recognition of our commitment to leadership and innovation in educational practice. You will have the opportunity to visit archaeological sites and museums in Italy as part of your programme. If you progress to Honours you will have the opportunity to spend up to three weeks (usually during the summer vacation after year 3) visiting archaeological sites and museums in Italy or another part of the ancient world.
