Literae Humaniores is the name given to the study of Classics at Oxford and some other universities.
The name means literally "more humane letters", but is perhaps better rendered as "Advanced Studies", since humaniores has the sense of "more refined" or "more learned", and literae means "learning" or "liberal education". It is the archetypical Humanities course.
