ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide Classic Studies graduate Ms Meaghan McEvoy is Oxford ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥-bound after winning a John Crampton Travelling Fellowship.

The 21-year-old product of Loreto College, who received first class honours in Classical Studies last year, has been accepted for postgraduate study in Classics at Oxford ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. She leaves for Oxford in September and will start with an M.Phil with the intention of upgrading it to a D. Phil. in subsequent years.

"I applied in July last year and was ecstatic when I heard the news a few days ago," she said. "This is a wonderful opportunity and I am looking forward to studying at Oxford."

She said she has a passion for the Classics and would like to teach the subject at an ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n university on completion of her studies. Ms McEvoy has a particular interest in late antiquity and Byzantium.
