Language Papers in Part II
In addition to your scheduled papers, you will take these three examinations, designed to test knowledge of the languages corresponding to the scheduled papers. The Text and Culture paper and the Translation paper need not be offered in the same language, though most candidates are likely to opt to do so. The Oral examination must be in one of the languages offered in those two written papers.
Scheduled Papers in Part II
The scheduled papers and the dissertation(s) may all relate to one language area or may be spread over different language areas. It is always advisable to take at least one scheduled paper with components in the same language as your language papers because the books that you read will feed into your language work, helping your fluency in reading and writing, and extending your vocabulary.
